A few weeks ago, prior to lockdown restrictions, it was absolutely fantastic to visit local superstar Carol at Power Neighbourhood House in Ashwood with the Minister for Families and Social Services, Senator Anne Ruston. Power Neighbourhood House provides a number of affordable activities and programs aimed at enriching the lives of all in our community, regardless of age, ability or ethnicity. They do absolutely incredible work locally, providing a safe and supportive environment for those who need it, as well as connecting locals with support providers, including community housing, social services, community health centres and more. The government is backing Carol and her team at Power Neighbourhood House with a grant of $15,000 to make crucial upgrades to their facilities. The funding was delivered through the Stronger Communities Program. The grant will help Power Neighbourhood House to continue their incredible work supporting local families, our multicultural communities and some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
