27 At the heart of Palm Beach sits a place many locals describe with a smile: “When you walk through the door, it feels like a big hug.” The Palm Beach Neighbourhood Centre is exactly that — a welcoming, inclusive space where people of all ages can find support, connection and a genuine sense of belonging. The Centre operates as a service, information and referral hub, guided by a simple philosophy: no wrong door. Whether you arrive with a clear question or just a feeling that you need support, you will be met with understanding and pointed in the right direction. Staff are there to listen, help navigate systems, and connect community members with services that make life a little easier. Appointments are available with the Centre’s Community Support Worker Sally, who can assist with referrals and accessing local support, information on rental and housing, comparing electricity rates and checking eligibility for concessions, online and paper support, budgeting and overcoming digital barriers — something many people find increasingly challenging in today’s online world. Our Family Support Worker Richelle is also available, offering free child and parenting support, including help with low-risk issues such as school aversion, anxiety, and strengthening family connections. Beyond one-on-one support, the Centre is a vibrant community space filled with regular activities and groups. These include gardening, art and craft sessions, sewing groups, Wellbeing Wednesdays, and a neurodiverse parent and caregiver support group. The Centre also hosts oneoff workshops that respond to community interests and needs, ensuring there is always something new to learn or try. For those seeking financial guidance, Good Shepherd staff are available at the Centre every Tuesday and Wednesday, offering support around financial resilience and recovery in a safe and confidential setting. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Palm Beach Neighbourhood Centre, and new faces are always welcome. Whether you enjoy greeting people at the front desk, getting your hands dirty in the garden, or bringing your own skills and ideas to a community project, there is a place for you here. The Centre also has group spaces available for hire, supporting locals who wish to run their own meetings, workshops or social groups.
