I enjoy visiting the place in action, vibrant and diverse, with lots of smiling faces. Thank
you to all at Farnham Street Neighbourhood House for the amazing
passion and commitment you share with the community and the hope and happiness you help create for everyone.

As Commissioner for Senior Victorians, I would like to express my congratulations to the Board,
Cathy and the team for the outstanding work they do in supporting seniors in their local community.
I have been delighted to attend some of the programs first hand and experience both the enthusiasm
