What Our Clients Say

5/5
Trudewind Rd Neighbourhood House has given me a place to learn Oil Painting in a friendly environment and at a cost a pensioner can afford. I have made new friends and have the opportunity to get out of the house for something other than the weekly shopping.

5/5
As I am 84 years old now and not able to do a lot of activities it is important for me to attend Water Colour Painting at Trudewind Rd Neighbourhood House. I have also done several computer courses which have enables me to keep up with technology.
N
4.5/5
Without my visits to Trudewind Rd Neighbourhood House my life would be very different. I would be socially isolated and would lack mental stimulation. It gives me a reason to get up in the morning.
