Article Highlight 📝

View the latest Onkaparinga Now article features, including a recent study that shows the positive impact of Community Centres.

New report highlights community centres' vital impact -
https://www.onkaparinganow.com/News-listing/community-centres-report

A few noteworthy studies within the article showed that:
- Community centres across South Australia welcome 2.57 million visitations every year.
- 3,831 volunteers provide 535,476 hours annually, contributing a service to community valued at $31.1 million.
- Centres are inclusive places for all people, supporting those on low incomes (46 per cent), people from different cultural backgrounds (27 per cent), people with disability (12 per cent) and recent refugees (11 per cent).
- The study also found community and neighbourhood centres contribute strongly to preventative health, reducing the need to refer people to higher-cost health and human services, such as public hospitals.

Check out the article for more details, and a huge thank you to all our volunteers and supporters for contributing their time and energy to such an important resource!

A new, Onkaparinga-prompted report reveals how community centres foster social connectedness across millions of visitations each year.
