From 11–17 March, communities across the state will celebrate Neighbourhood Centre Week, recognising the vital role neighbourhood centres play in building stronger, more connected communities.
Across Queensland, more than 140 neighbourhood and community centres operate as part of a statewide network supported by Neighbourhood Centres Queensland.
Neighbourhood Centres Queensland strengthens the voice of centre's at a state level, provides training and sector development, and advocates for sustainable funding to ensure communities continue to receive early intervention and preventative support.
Neighbourhood Centre are not-for-profit organisations, largely government funded, and deeply embedded in their local communities. They are pillars of stability and are continuously adapting as community needs change over time. Their purpose is to create safe, welcoming spaces where people can connect, seek guidance, and feel heard.
For many individuals and families, a Neighbourhood Centre is the first place they turn when facing financial stress, housing challenges, family difficulties, or social isolation. They are spaces of belonging, inclusivity and community voice.
The Hinchinbrook region is incredibly fortunate to have its own established Neighbourhood Centre on 51 McIlwraith Street Ingham.
This as many know is called the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre, also known as “The HUB.”
Proudly serving Ingham and surrounding suburbs, The HUB works collaboratively with other local organisations to ensure community members feel supported and can be easily referred when services are not available onsite. This strong network approach strives to ensure that no one feels alone when navigating difficult circumstances.
The HUB provides a wide range of supports, including:
Beyond direct services, The HUB fosters connection by creating opportunities for people to build friendships, access information, develop skills and strengthen their sense of belonging.
The Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre looks forward to continuing its service to the region for many years to come and extends great thanks to its donors, partners, volunteers and stakeholders whose ongoing support makes this work possible.
Community members are encouraged to:
Neighbourhood Centres are powered by community and together, Hinchinbrook continues to thrive through connection, compassion and collaboration.
