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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Being away from extended family, I love bringing my children to playgroup once a week for a change of scene. I have made new friends and the kids love it!
C
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.

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.

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.

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.
