Helping within the community and motivating people's learning skills

The Community House aims to encourage people to learn new skills. It is part of the National Link Program and is classified as a place of Adult Learning. By learning and becoming accomplished at new skills it has been found that a persons self esteem grows as well. They begin to appreciate themselves and others more. The Support Program aims to encourage the frail, elderly and disabled to be more active in the community and not feel so house bound.
