NECCHi has a new manager - everyone, meet Ellen Prior 😊Hello everyone - nice to meet you! I’m a passionate Community Development Worker…lover of Gaskell, Austen and the Bronte sisters and avid walker. I love to grow, cook and eat food, long walks with Ollie (our border collie) & chocolate. Our family recently moved to West Preston (after many years living in the Dandenong Ranges) so we’re loving exploring the area, getting to know our neighbours and in my case, walking/riding to work.I’m really looking forward to getting to know the NECCHi community and to working alongside you, so please pop in and say hi 👋
