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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To me the Neighbourhood House means friendship. As a person on my own it’s a place where I can come to be with others to learn something new and develop new skills.
