💜 Did you know? Around 72,000 people walk through the doors of Neighbourhood and Community Centres across NSW every week!

Whether it's joining an activity, connecting with others or finding support when it's needed, these centres provide welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life.

At LINC, we're fortunate to receive funding for some of our services. However, much of our broader community work relies on grants, fundraising and community support.

The Local Community Services Association (LCSA) is advocating for sustainable core funding to support Neighbourhood and Community Centres across NSW.

🐦🎃 Did you spot our WEST birds at the Lithgow Halloween Parade?! 🪶✨

Over the past few weeks, our young people in LINC's WEST program, delivered in partnership with Milk Crate Theatre, have been busy creating some AMAZING bird puppets! 🎨

On Saturday evening, we had the wonderful opportunity to bring these colourful creations to life at the Lithgow Halloween Parade, alongside some of our young people and their families!

Leading the way was Reggie the Regent Honeyeater from the Let's Fly project, followed by our colourful flock of handmade bird puppets! With drums and tambourines filling the air, there was plenty of dancing, singing and smiles all round! 🥁🎶

💛 A huge thank you to Renata and our wonderful local artists for bringing this creative project to life. Our LINC team feels incredibly privileged to work alongside such passionate and talented people who inspire and encourage our young people to express themselves through creativity.

🐦 It was also wonderful to see Portland Central School involved, with students creating their own fantastic bird puppets as part of the project!

👏 Thank you also to Lithgow City Council for putting on such a fantastic Halloween event and bringing our community together!

And of course, a special shout-out to our amazing WEST participants and their families. We loved seeing your creations take flight! 🐦✨
