What We Do

The list of current programs is always changing to meet the emerging needs of the community. Our ongoing activities are to provide Information and Referrals, Community Development, Research Community Needs, Counselling, Outreach, Family Support, Personal Development Programs and development of support groups.

For over ten years the Centre has been providing services and programs to the residents of Kincumber, Avoca Beach, Copacabana, MacMasters Beach, Kilcare, Empire Bay, Bensville, Saratoga and Davistown. Our objective is to support children, young people, individuals and families so they can enhance their independence, safety, self-esteem and quality of life within the community. We try to build strong communities and increase social capital. This is done through community development; so communities are well informed, well resourced and well connected. We embrace equity and diversity in our community

Who Are We?

 We are a community based, non-profit, incorporated organisation that is managed by a Board of local residents. We have charitable and benevolent status. Under the Rules of the Association the Board must meet at least six times each twelve months. It currently meets on Monday afternoons. A quorum for meetings is five members. Cost of membership is $5 per year. The Annual General Meeting is held in October each year. Our funding is primarily from the NSW Department of Community Services and is supplemented by various small grants which may become available for specific programs eg Gosford Council's Community Grants program. The building, previously known as Kincumber Multipurpose Centre, was built by Gosford City Council who still retain ownership. The Neighbourhood Centre has occupancy and agrees to manage the building. Council is responsible for some ongoing maintenance and the Neighbourhood Centre is responsible for keeping the building clean and tidy and maintained. The Board must make the centre available for community use. The Neighbourhood Centre hires out the building to Community Groups, individuals and For Profit groups. There are different hiring rates for each of these categories. Any surplus money from the hiring, after deducting all expenses and provisions, is allowed to be used for Neighbourhood Centre programs - There are three rooms for hiring. There are also (3) offices, apart from the Managers, these are the counselling room, an office permanently hired to Aunties and Uncles, and the Seniors Computer Club Training room. Currently June Galea, the Executive Officer, is the only paid staff. The centre heavily relies on our wonderful volunteers.
