The Hub 6163 volunteer Alan Hancock said there had been a noticeable need for more community centres in Cockburn.
“Community hubs and one-stop-shops have become buzz-words within government as communities increasingly demand responsive services and spaces where people can participate in services, group activities, hobbies, and advocacy,” he said.
“People will not only connect with other people in their community, make new connections or reconnect with other community members, but also learn some new skills and perhaps develop their interest further.”
He said anyone interested in a workshop, or simply finding out more, should attend the open day.
“People will be able to find out what is happening at the hub, what is planned and also be able to provide information about what they would like to see happen at the hub,” he said.
The Hub 6163’s open day is on November 17 from 1.30pm to 6pm on Starling Street, Hamilton Hill.
