We’d like to invite you to our upcoming Showcase for the Welcoming Community program an event which will be an opportunity for you to:

Meet our team and ask questions about the program
Learn more about the Learning Circles and what kinds of topics we’ll explore
Connect with some of the community partners who are supporting the program
Find out how to take part in a way that suits you
Decide if the program is the right fit for you – there will be no pressure to commit on the day

🗓 Showcase details
When: Thursday 7 August
Time: 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Where: Salthouse Community Centre in Braddon (in-person) and online via Microsoft Teams

In-person places for the Showcase are limited, but there is unlimited online access for those who would like to join remotely.

We’ll also share details about the first Learning Circle session, scheduled to begin on Thursday 14 August. We’ve had a strong response so far and while places in the full program are limited, we’ll do our best to include everyone who would benefit — especially those who are feeling isolated or disconnected.

If you have any access needs, we’d love to support you — just let us know what would help.

We are looking forward to meeting you soon.
