Clota Cottage Neighbourhood House

A community place where everyone is welcome! For almost 40 years the Clota Cottage Neighbourhood House community has organised activities, classes, workshops, social groups and welcomed newcomers.

Come along, drop in for a chat. Meet others from your neighbourhood. You might discover a new interest, join a class, facilitate an activity, or make a new friend. There are so many ways to get involved. We encourage you to pop in to see how you can participate. You will be sure to find something to learn, teach, grow, cook, read, create, eat, sew, chat about, discover, and most importantly, people to meet!

As part of our commitment to respond to community need, we design and deliver a broad range of quality activities, with some especially suitable for local newcomers, seniors, CALD, digital learners, people living with disabilities, jobseekers, and more. Activities may be offered day, night or weekends.

Let us know if there is anything you would like offered at your Neighbourhood House.
