The Charlton Neighbourhood House was extremely grateful to recently receive a very generous donation from The Charlton Campdraft Club. The funds will go towards further delivery of courses and activities within our community. A huge thankyou to everyone involved at Campdraft.

The Charlton Neighbourhood House was again proud to partner with Charlton College, St Joseph's Primary School, Charlton Pre-School, Charlton Playgroup, and Charlton Childcare to deliver the 2024 National Simultaneous Storytime book 'Bower Bird Blues'.
Providing sufficient books, stickers and bookmarks for all the children and classes involved, a great morning was enjoyed by all the children joining with others across Australia. This terrific initiative continues our support of NSS in encouraging local children to read.
Law Week 2024 was again supported in Charlton by the Neighbourhood House, who this year arranged for a lawyer to attend the town and provide general legal advice on wills and future planning. With support from the Victorian Law Foundation and Mallee Family Care Community Legal Centre, Allie made herself available to talk to members of the community at Charlton Park as part of EWHS’s ‘The Unbreakable Farmer’ event.
A large number of residents took the opportunity to say hello, collect some of the brochures on hand and get referrals to where to obtain more specific information. The important message shared on the night was that wills, powers of attorney and future planning is not something just older people should think about; it is an important subject that people of all ages need to consider in case of a change in circumstances. The Charlton Neighbourhood House thanked everyone who assisted in the evening, especially the legal team at Mallee Family Care and Allie who volunteered her time for this important session celebrating Law Week. Printed information material is available from the Charlton Neighbourhood House if you would like more details. |
