NECCHI

View this email in your browser Hello NECCHi Community!  We are so excited to announce that our Semester 2 Program is now live!  It's been awesome to hear your feedback about our last program, and we've loved being able to have you back in the houses after such an unpredictable year!  In planning this program, we've met with so many talented facilitators and community members, all keen to offer their skills to create some incredible workshops and events. We have old favourites here to stay, like the hugely popular Little Seeds Playgroup and Iyengar Yoga, but we've also added some fun new friends into the mix. Below is just a little taste - head to the website to see our full list of programs and events for the rest of the year!  A Covid-Responsive Program   Obviously (like everyone!), we are still operating in a Covid-19 world. We have tried to develop a program that is adaptable, and we have worked with our facilitators to make sure we can deliver our program even if restrictions return.  Free & Sponsored Places! We recognise it has been a difficult year for many. We believe in programs that are accessible to all - so many of our programs are completely FREE!  We also have sponsored places for all our paid programs for those that find it difficult to cover the cost.  Get in touch with us for a chat if you would like to access a sponsored place. It is as simple as giving us a call or email and requesting a sponsored place code, and you are all set to book into the program of your choice. We are always working to improve access to our spaces and programs by community and welcome all suggestions of ways to make NECCHi more accessible to community.   After much anticipation... coffee is coming! Brewlands will be helmed by barista Oli. The cafe will open from 13th July, on Tuesdays & Thursday from 9-3pm. We've got primo beans from Clark St Coffee and fab milk from St Davids Dairy - with non-dairy options too. Thanks to Murph's Co-Op for sorting us with the goods. We can't wait to share a cup with you in the foyer, or the garden, or you can grab one on the run. Viva la coffee break!  Last year was a difficult year for many, and we really missed the opportunity to hang out and have a chat in the houses. We’d love to invite you, your friends, family, kids, carers, to come and say hi at our dedicated drop-in Open House on Tuesday mornings.   Come and say hello, chill out in our new lounge and enjoy a coffee from Brewlands! The garden will be open for a potter around in, and the craft supplies cupboard is fully stocked and ready to be used.   Tuesdays, 11.30-1pm @ Newlands Neighbourhood House As always, if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions for the houses, let us know! We can't wait to see you at one of our programs this semester.  The NECCHi Team  Newlands Neighbourhood House 20 Murray Rd Coburg North VIC 3058 Ph 03 8528 2332 East CoburgNeighbourhood House 32 Nicholson StCoburg VIC 3058 Ph 03 9913 5472 enquiries@necchi.org.au www.necchi.org
