We welcome people from all walks of life providing a high standard of learning, support & friendship Aims
The Warragul Community House aims to provide:
1.

The Warragul Community House is a not for profit, charitable organisation that seeks to provide the local community with a resource where it can engage in educational and social activities that reduce isolation, increase employment opportunities and provide skills for living and leisure. WCH was established on 3 December 1978, by a group of six very forward thinking women who decided to develop informal learning situations and activities in a warm, supportive environment. Through the establishment of the organisation they sought to address the problems of isolation, loneliness, alcohol abuse, racial discrimination, financial hardship and unemployment. These goals remain relevant to the activities of the house today. A welcoming, accepting, safe and comfortable environment where staff and participants can be encouraged to learn, to develop peer support and enhance social interaction;
2. An environment and resources where there is an opportunity for participants to develop skills, explore life direction, and develop their capacity for independence;
3. The opportunity for community empowerment in relation to identified community issues, e.g. domestic violence, drug abuse, homelessness, financial distress, food insecurity; and
4. Community connectivity through networking opportunities.

Who knew a few bits and pieces from the garden could become something so handy? 🌿

Our Multicultural Friendship Group got creative this week, making their very own homemade back scratchers!

Guided by Nachman and Rosemary, the group sawed, sanded, drilled and laughed their way through the activity, turning simple garden materials into some very practical creations.

There was plenty of teamwork, lots of laughter and, of course, a few backs that needed scratching! 😂

💛 Want to join the fun?

Our Multicultural Friendship Group meets every Wednesday from 10.30am to 12.30pm at Warragul Community House.

It's a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, make friends, share experiences and try something different.

Interested in joining? Reach out to our friendly team. We'd love to hear from you! 🌏

It was a full house at Warragul Community House this morning as we welcomed a fantastic group of curious minds for our AI Made Simple workshop!

With artificial intelligence becoming an increasingly big part of our lives, knowing where to start, what to trust and how to use it can feel a little overwhelming.

That's where our resident AI guru, Sarah Billington, stepped in!

Sarah helped participants take their first steps into the world of AI, breaking down the basics, building confidence and exploring how this technology can be a force for good in everyday life.

A huge thank you to Sarah for sharing her knowledge and making what can be a daunting subject feel approachable, practical and even a little fun!

We also thank Good Things Foundation for funding this free workshop as part of Get Online Week, helping more people in our community build their digital skills and confidence.

💜 Want to learn more about AI?

We're offering two courses with Sarah at Warragul Community House:
