Coming to this place is the best thing I have ever done. It is like having another family.

We moved back to Wodonga 5 years ago. Without the wonderful people at Trudewind Rd Neighbourhood House I would still be stuck in my home. They made me very welcome and a part of their family. I am also now a volunteer for them and have met a lot of people with the same need as mine and we have all become friends.

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.

After losing my husband and my mother within a few months of each other, I found the local Neighbourhood House which gave me friendship, comfort and activities to return a sense of purpose to my life.

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.

Neighbourhood Houses provide invaluable support and services to the community. They are distinguished from other providers because of their personal touch, whilst still observing requirements. Great programs are offered and pitched to the general demographic of the local community.

With limited movement I now rely on this centre as a means of getting out of the house and socialise. The range of activities gives me lots of opportunities to try new skills and explore new art mediums at reasonable rates.

Love the display of all the Arts and Crafts

This is a fabulous resource used by many in the community. It gives me a chance to get together with like-minded people who have become friends. Without this service I would be reasonably lonely and isolated. My local friends have really helped with my well-being.

I came to computer courses last year. I am now able to use my computer for emailing and internet! I can keep in contact with my family who live interstate.
