Thank you SWELL Palmerston for accomodating & welcoming our group in their latest move of venues & Coffee Club Oasis for looking after our large group 3 days a week.

To support healthy ageing and reduce social isolation in Darwin, dozens of senior members at SWELL Palmerston are coming together for Fit for Life: a fitness class designed for older adults. The program, which is focused on strength, flexibility and movement to help older adults stay act...

The long-awaited Recycled clothing store is all set to go at Oasis Shopping Village and will be operational from the 19th of March opening at 9am.
Please tell your friends that they are very welcome to either donate clothing for sale or if they wish to have a wardrobe clear out, they may make a few dollars to refill the wardrobe in time for the dry season. They may purchase a rack for $50 and we will sell on their behalf.
Already some donated goods have arrived with labels still attached so I’m not alone in impulse buying.
We will accept clothing in store from 18th March.
Please spread the word to make this enterprise a success and raise a few dollars and join in the fun

At this week's Council meeting it was decided to fence the Gray Hall, investigate improve lighting, close the laneway between the hall & the childcare centre & consult with all relevant stakeholders in our area.
