NECHHi

Our 2023 Survey is here! Happy New Year from all of us at NECCHi! We hope you are enjoying a fabulous and restful holiday break with friends and family.  The NECCHi Newlands office is now open from Tuesday - Friday 8.30am - 4.30pm, but we're operating with an even smaller team than usual, so we appreciate your patience as we get back to you. Email (enquiries@necchi.org) is generally best for us as we're not always in the office, but we will be checking the phones periodically as well. The NECCHi East Coburg office will remain closed until Tuesday 30th January. Brewlands Cafe is also back to regular hours now too: Tuesday - Friday, 8.30am - 12.30pm.  AND - our Term 1 program begins on Monday 29th Jan, yay! This newsletter comes with a slight agenda (shh!) but we'd love to get your feedback on our programming last year. We've got a very simple survey that is perfect for when you've got a second while you lounge by the pool or enjoy a lovely coffee at Brewlands... Head here to give us your thoughts, it really does make a big difference and helps us to work out what you might want to see from us in the future 💭  🚨 PSA: We really love putting together our program. BUT if you don't book in advance, it makes it really hard to know if activities can go ahead! If a program doesn't meet minimum numbers 1 week before commencing, we'll have to cancel it 🥺 So, if there is something you'd love to attend, please book in advance 🚨   As always, any feedback or questions can be sent to enquiries@necchi.org - we wish you a very happy and safe holidays and can't wait to see you at a program in 2024.  xx The NECCHi Team
