We aim to support our community by providing practical solutions to deal with issues that affect us whilst offering an opportunity for locals to meet, connect and belong.

Our Services & Programs

Advocacy, Advice and Information

Community information, advice, advocacy and referrals. We can help fill in forms, write letters and talk to officials on your behalf. Research and find services to assist you and your family. We provide the community, phone, computer, internet and photocopying access. Bookings required – please call 02 4572 5898.

Community Development & Planning

We are funded by NSW Department of Communities and Justice to provide programs and services to the communities of Bligh Park and South Windsor. Community Development is a process to bring about change founded on equality, inclusion and social justice. The process of Community Development enables people to:

  • improve the quality of their own lives and the community they live in
  • identify their needs
  • take action to influence the decisions which affect their lives

We work closely with individuals, community groups and resident groups to further community development. We would love your input!
