Our Centre
A welcoming place that fosters social connection, life-long learning and community wellbeing.
Maldon Neighbourhood Centre’s reason for being is to offer a local gathering place, build community, and enable social connection.
Our education, health and recreation programs, and the community development and social action projects we undertake, have at their heart the aim of combatting inequity and isolation – fostering good lives and strong inclusive community for everyone.
We value: Respect; Partnerships; Inclusiveness; Adaptation; Active participation; Environmental responsibility; Listening and learning
