Felltimber and Baranduda Community Centres, both formerly operated by Wodonga Council, will transition back to community run over the next few months. 

Bandiana Neighbourhood House and Birallee Park Neighbourhood House were both successful with their applications to take over the leases and funding agreements for Baranduda and Felltimber respectively. They will both continue operating from their existing locations at Bandiana Army Base and Emerald Avenue as well.

The Skills for Life program was developed in response to an identified need for a program to teach valuable life skills to NDIS participants, in a small group setting, face-to-face, over a number of sessions.

"Since the program started we have seen a significant growth in the participants' confidence, have seen them form new friendships, and have observed an improvement in their communication skills and abilities overall," said YMCLC CEO, Julie-Anne Clarke

Pangerang Community Hub has held an annual Student Art Exhibition for the last 9 years. "It's such a wonderful way to celebrate the students," said Tennille Hall, Pangerang Community Hub Executive Officer, "they always feel so proud."

"Each year we have a 'wall of fame' where we identify a strong female leader from the community who has made a significant contribution through volunteering, been a trail blazer, or achieved something significant."
