Story

Robinson Reserve Neighbourhood House is an incorporated, not-for-profit organisation in South West Coburg, in the City of Moreland. We aim to promote community wellbeing, reduce social isolation, and support and encourage an inclusive, empowered and resilient local neighbourhood.

Founded in 1988, Robinson Reserve Neighbourhood House is managed by a Committee of Management made up of local residents who have an interest in the community. We receive funding from various sources including Moreland City Council, ACFE, the Department of Planning and Community Development and the Department of Early Education and Childhood Development to assist us in the running of programs and activities.

We run various educational programs aimed at developing the skill base of the community, such as English classes for migrants, computer classes, Italian classes and other short courses. We also provide health and wellbeing programs to assist individuals to maintain a healthy outlook and positive life balance. There are also various local community groups who meet regularly for a social catch up and coffee, as well as programs designed around leisure.

Robinson Reserve Neighbourhood House also runs an Occasional Childcare service specific to the needs of the local community and House users, and the House is also a popular venue for playgroups, children’s and family events.
