Many of the outcomes we produce are intangible and difficult to measure, such as friendships created as result of hosting Women's Group gatherings and social interaction during school holidays children's workshops, or increased self-esteem and less isolation resulting from being more connected to the community through participation or increased knowledge of community resources.
A Justice of the Peace is also available, by appointment only. Call first for bookings.
