Our incredible Public Intoxication Response Metro team have been doing outreach around the city connecting with those sleeping rough and helping out community with a friendly chat, referrals to other Ngwala services and a warm swag to those who need it ❤

Dakoda, Alli and Ashleigh even discovered this deadly mural in Hozier Lane last time they were pounding the pavement!

Our Social & Emotional Well-Being team have helped get a bunch of our clients into footy this season through Reclink Australia, with a number of younger folks suiting up for the Collingwood Magpies Community Football Team.

The team provides marginalised youth between 16-25 a chance to discover a support system through football, well-being, mentoring, and the power of community. The Magpies took out a hard fought Grand Final win last month that was an amazing display of disciplined teamwork and we couldn’t be more proud of every participants growth.

Last Thursday 2 October, we came together to celebrate the 49th Anniversary of Galiamble & Winja Ulupna Alcoholics Anonymous at a sensational event 🥰

For the first time ever, residents from Winja Ulupna and Galiamble chaired the event, and they did a deadly job! With 124 people in attendance, the energy and community spirit was strong 🔥

We began the evening with a beautiful smoking ceremony led by Shane Clayton, setting the tone for a night of connection. In the lead up to the event, the Gali and Winja women collaborated on a cultural art project, crafting gum nut necklaces that were worn with pride 🎨

The Winja women also spoiled us with a delicious savoury and sweet grazing board, and the Ngwala Coffee Cart kept everyone warm and toasty 🧀☕

It was a truly memorable evening for everyone involved 🖤💛❤️

Flashback to Easter Crafts with the Southern Metro Women’s Group! Earlier this year, the group completed a fun and festive Easter project focused on basket-making 🐰

Using balloons as molds, participants wrapped them in wet tissue paper, let them dry, and then popped the balloons to form the base of their baskets 🧺

Each one was painted and decorated, filled with chocolate eggs, small gifts, and Easter-themed crafts before being gifted to family and loved ones 🎁

In between seasonal projects, we also run regular activities including basket weaving, jewellery making and painting 🎨

🕒 Every Wednesday from 1:00pm - 4:30pm
