This project creates an opportunity for the local and broader community to engage with the simple pleasures of life through a year-long series of free workshops, talks and community gatherings at Moongala Community House. Sharing art/craft skills, cooking, story-telling, gardening, wisdom and practical tips across generations. Re-using/re-vamping/up-cycling – learning to embrace simplicity in a fun and genuinely heart-warming way. Increased volunteering opportunities, community gardening, fruit and vegie swap, social gatherings, community lunches, art/craft/friendship groups, monthly birthday celebrations, drop-in café - opportunities to meet people and stay involved , altogether providing a greater sense of wellbeing, purpose and satisfaction in life.
Everyone wants to feel connected - so often they just need an invitation to come together. This project encourages;
• old and young to learn from each other,
• sharing of our different cultures,
• stories to be told,
• a sense of identity and belonging,
• community members to learn new skills, share their knowledge, participate, be involved
• people to stay connected by joining existing groups /creating new ones.
Engaging and participating in a series of enjoyable, informed workshops, discussions and sustainable community events enhances individual health and wellbeing leading to a cohesive and vibrant local community village.

Similar to a not for profit idea Ive had for a few years but I'm young and unpractical this is realistic I love it and want to be so much apart of it that it flowers and flourishes into a beautiful fruit for the community

Moongala Community House has survived on a 'shoestring' over many, many years. In spite of their limited means, they continue to provide valuable skills training to women and men of all ages. MCH is also an important local community hub. I am delighted to support their ongoing work!
