Welcome to a wet and rainy start to the week.
We hope you have a great week and we look forward to seeing you at Eating with Friends, our community lunch, on Friday.
Children’s Commissioner to visit Kingston Neighbourhood House
Leanne McLean, the Commissioner for Children & Young People, will be visiting KNH this week to talk to KNH staff, parents and children.
Leanne has been visiting Neighbourhood Houses across Tasmania to develop an understanding of the best methods to promote the rights and wellbeing of children and young people.
We have a range of people and experiences to share with Leanne during her visit. Please feel free to visit the Children’s Commissioner website to find out more.
Eating with Friends – Community Lunch
On Friday 2nd August we are hosting our monthly Eating with Friends Community Lunch from 12.00PM.
$6.00 for a two course meal (main and dessert) is a hard deal to beat.
Our menu this week includes:

Food Relief – Additional Collections
We have negotiated with Coles Kingston and Loaves & Fishes Tasmania (formerly Second Bite) to increase collection of food products during the week. The benefit is that a later collection time means we have greater access to
fruit and vegetables which we don’t have earlier in the morning.
If you are able to assist with collection at 11.00AM we would love to hear from you.
Boring Admin Stuff
- Findex (formerly Crowe Horwath) have completed the onsite audit for Kingston Neighbourhood House for the 2018/19;
