A range of fun and social activities are held at the Centre that aim to reduce social isolation and provide a sense of connection and self worth. These activities range from current affairs discussion group, computer classes, art and craft, choir and library to name just a few.

I am so proud to live in such a caring community where we have organisations like the Early Morning Centre taking care of some of Canberra’s most vulnerable people, as well as having Hand Across Canberra supporting amazing charities to ensure all of Canberra is cared for.
