Last week marked Cathy’s final day as manager

She has done so much for Farnham Street and leaves behind a legacy that won’t be forgotten. Cathy wasn’t just an incredible manager — she was a true friend to so many of us.

Her support, leadership, and kindness made a lasting impact, and things won’t be the same without her.

Wishing you all the very best in your next chapter, Cathy — you’ll be deeply missed

Thank you to Lee Tarlamis MP for accepting additional postcards at our Day of Action on behalf of Ros Spence MP.

This FULL box included postcards from all corners of Victoria, signed by thousands of participants who wanted to make sure their voices were heard. They are joining tens of thousands of these postcards that have already made their way to Parliament!

On Wednesday, our Manager Cathy Connop proudly stood alongside Neighbourhood Houses from across Victoria at the rally calling for fair and sustainable funding to KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN.
We were inspired by the incredible turnout of staff, volunteers and community supporters who came together to stand up for the vital role Neighbourhood Houses play in every community.
Neighbourhood Houses create connection, belonging and opportunity. We provide safe, welcoming spaces where people can learn, access support, build friendships and feel part of something bigger.
The message is clear: without sustainable funding, doors will close. With fair funding, we can continue to be the heart of our community.
We are proud to stand with our sector colleagues and call on the Victorian Government to ensure Neighbourhood Houses can continue the essential work our communities rely on.
