About Us

Geelong West Neighbourhood House is a member of the Barwon Network of Neighbourhood Centres, and Neighbourhood Houses Victoria.

We welcome your participation—follow our Facebook page and connect with us online! 

Neighbourhood Houses are part of a social movement that begin in the 1970s. The movement now represents close to 400 independent, community-based organisations across Victoria, and is dedicated to empowering people to unite and achieve community goals.

Neighbourhood Houses are special because they are owned and managed by the local community, for the local community. Everyone involved has a voice and can take part in decision-making.

Neighbourhood Houses have a unique and welcoming atmosphere. They are places where everyone is invited to connect, build friendships, engage in community life, and share in learning together

Neighbourhood Houses differ from one another, because they are flexible and diverse in their delivery, responding to the needs of their communities at any given time. They collaborate with other community organisations to enhance the quality of life for local residents.
