Community - We are all in it

When people come to the Neighbourhood House for the first time, we  hear them say they thought the house was just for a certain type of person.

"I thought only retired people were able to use the Neighbourhood House"

"Don't you have to have a Healthcare card?"

"Is this just for people with Disabilities?"

"Don't you have to be ......?"

A loud and resounding NO to all the above.

We have people at the Neighbourhood House of all occupations, lifestyles, religions, political persuasions, nationalities, abilities, ages and any other box you would like to tick. That's what I love about Neighbourhood Houses, everyone is welcome.

Spread the word..... we're all included.
