We warmly welcome you to join us as we launch the Village Well – a new hub in the heart of Box Hill where our local community can gather, support each other and be supported, and develop new initiatives and activities to bring diverse people together in our growing city.

This initiative is being driven by Box Hill Baptist Church, an inclusive, affirming, and community-focused church which has been serving the Box Hill community for over 100 years.

As a key part of this project, we are also proud to be providing the Opening Doors Social Inclusion program free to the local community in 2023, and this launch will include a brief information session about the program and how you can get involved and benefit from what it has to offer.

We invite you to join us as we begin this journey together.
