Established in 1975, Kensington Neighbourhood House is a community-managed charity, located at 89 McCracken St, Kensington.

We work within a community development framework to support people living and working in our area who are most in need. We create community connections, advance mental health outcomes and address social isolation. We do this in a number of ways:

• The KNH "Help Hub" run by our Social Worker and a team of volunteers, offers individual support to community members with complex needs - including homelessness, disability, family violence and poverty. It is a "one stop shop" supporting community members when they need it most.  

• We provide opportunities for social connection through a range of regular, no or low-cost activities and groups (many lead by community members).

• We provide various volunteering opportunities. These roles enable people who are isolated - particularly older community members and those from migrant or refugee backgrounds -  to be in the company of others.

• Pre-accredited adult education and training programs are offered to assist people experiencing barriers to education and employment.

Kensington Neighbourhood House supports people of all ages and life stages. Drop in and visit us any time!
