THE Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre’s (CHNC) free Family Fun Day will be on Saturday 17 May, from 10am to 2pm.
The event is to celebrate Neighbourhood Centre Week.
CHNC is one of several Neighbourhood Centres on the Coffs Coast working to support communities by providing a welcoming and inclusive space.
Known as “the place to go when you don’t know where to go”, the Coffs centre along with Woolgoolga Neighbourhood Centre, Boambee East Community Centre and the Neighbourhood Centres of Bellingen Shire, all provide a broad range of services, activities and support for their communities.
“This year, Coffs Neighbourhood Centre would like to connect with families with young children by inviting them to come along to our Family Fun Day,” CHNC coordinator Anna Joy told News Of The Area.
The day will include heaps of fun activities including a free barbecue lunch, mini golf, face painting, coffee cart and snow cones, lawn games, temporary tattoos, toy land, music fun with Rex, the Fire and Rescue truck and prize giveaways.
Coffs Harbour Reptile World are putting on a display from 10am to 12pm with a special show at 11am.
The “Ripples of Change” theme will be reflected at all Neighbourhood Centres, where many dedicated volunteers support the delivery of services.
CHNC volunteer Rosie Walters told NOTA, “I have really enjoyed my time volunteering at Coffs Harbour Neighbourhood Centre and seeing the positive changes we make every day.
“Connecting with the community and especially families with young children and providing support when it is needed, makes life a little easier for them and that creates the ripples of change to make for a better community overall.”
Neighbourhood Centre Week is a national initiative taking place from 12 to 18 May.
