The Long Gully Neighbourhood Centre Inc. (LGNC) is a non-profit organisation governed by a voluntary Committee of Governance comprising mostly of community members, and managed on a day to day basis by a Centre Coordinator.
The Centre commenced operations in 1984; then known as the Long Gully Community House, which provided a place for the new Sparrowhawk Housing Estate residents to meet, access information and run activities.
The Centre provides services and offers a range of activities to the Long Gully Community as well as the wider City of Greater Bendigo
The LGNC plays an important role in providing opportunities through training, programs, activities, events and projects for individuals of all abilities who are vulnerable and experiencing disadvantage. Our flexibility and creativity allow us to be inclusive and to connect people socially.
LGNC’s active engagement is modelled on the principles of community development through community participation, community ownership, empowerment, lifelong learning, inclusion, access and equity, social action, advocacy, networking and self-help.
