Any one looking for a crocheting challenge? We would love to be able to convert our display cabinet in our entrance to look similar to this crafty sensation of a fish tank. Any one keen?

Bring bring, that's the phone! Send us a Facebook msg or an email on enquiries@sunburyhouse.com.au if you would like to book a phone call with SNH staff next week. Stage 4 saw the complete move to working off site so sadly there won't be any gifts or offerings from the front door, however we can still make calls. We'd love to hear from you.

Good afternoon Members, Participants, Facilitators and Friends of Sunbury Neighbourhood House (SNH);
Re: SNH – closure to the public effective today Monday 6th July 2020 9am
In response to the Victorian Government’s extension of The State of Emergency and the evidence of COVID – 19 community transmission across the North West of Melbourne, including within our own municipality, SNH Management and Board of Management have decided that it is in the best interest of our community to immediately close the House again.
This means that as of Monday 6th July 2020 9 am, SNH will re-close our doors for a period of one month, i.e. from 06/07/2020 to 03/08/2020. Our front window service and Drop-in Cuppa and Guitar opportunities will immediately cease. In the interest of public health and welfare, SNH has also cancelled all Term 3 programs including all Classes, Drop-in Social Groups and Room-hires. SNH will reevaluate the possibility of offering programs in Term 3 after 3rd August 2020.
This decision has not come lightly. SNH Staff, Management and the Board have reviewed our operations using a COVID – 19 Risk Matrix and concluded that regardless of any modifications to our individual programs, the risk to our community is simply too high for them to run.
SNH staff will continue to work behind closed doors and remotely. We will reactivate our “reach out” model of communication: phone calls, email and social media / website updates.
Staff will also be in contact with those who are eligible for a refund due to the closure in Term 1 and to all who had a room booking.
When it is safe to do so, SNH looks forward to re-opening again to our community of Sunbury.
The following websites provide up-to-date information regarding COVID-19.
• Sunbury Neighbourhood House’s brand NEW website http://www.sunburyhouse.com.au
• Department of Health & Human Services https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

These changes will not impact our very very slow re-opening on Monday however a very good reminder that things can change quickly. We will not rush opening our Term 3.

We are delighted to announce that SNH will commence a staged Re-Opening as of Monday 22nd June at 9 am. For the 3 weeks following this date we will welcome back all of our Drop in Programs except for Drop in and Play. We will also be making contact with some of our partnership programs to extend the welcome back.
We are also working on some modified versions of our regular Term programming for term 3. We are still making the appropriate changes and also juggling the timetable, so please be patience and understanding. Stay tuned for more announcements during the school holidays.
As mentioned earlier, things will look different for quite some time at SNH. We require each person to sign in and out, use hand hygiene stations and adhere to the reduced limits in each room and maintain social distancing.
As of Monday, we look forward to welcoming back Drop in Computers, Drop in Cuppa and Drop in Guitar.

You may have noticed by now the announcement by the Andrew's Government that Community Centres across the state can reopen with restrictions as of June 1st 2020 - very exciting! SNH are still waiting to hear from our landlord with our exact re-open date. As soon as we know we will let you know our plan to safely re-open.
As there has been a few changes to restrictions already announced that affect some of our regular programming we wont be announcing exactly what will immediately return, what will be reduced and what will be delayed until we have an exact re-open date. This is to avoid disappointment and also to minimize the amount of information that we may need to retract.
There are a couple things to keep in mind when returning to our Programs; we will need you to use the hand hygiene stations in place, continue to practice social distancing, we will need to cross check your current phone number and if you are part of our Drop In Programs we will need to sign in and out at reception, class lists will remain in place for all other programs. You will notice some changes to our programs regarding capacity and spacing between participants - all common safety measures in today's climate.
We will keep you as updated as possible with dates and return of programs, we are really looking forward to seeing you all again.

It's Neighbourhood House week, a nationwide initiative to celebrate the role of neighbourhood houses in the community.
Did you know that 1 in 4 Australians are lonely? That's a quarter of the population. It's a frightening thought that perhaps during this unprecedented time of COVID - 19 that this statistic may actually be even higher.
Humans are social creatures who thrive on social connection and companionship. According to Vic Health the most effective way to reduce loneliness is to make people feel connected to their community.
This is exactly the role of neighbourhood houses. Since 95 / 96 SNH has been providing opportunities to the Sunbury and surrounding community to come together, learn, socialise, participate and volunteer.
We want to hear from you.
Do you have a favourite memory of SNH? Do you remember when we were a one person program located at the original Sunbury Community Health Centre on Gap Road? Did you bring your kids to Gumnuts Play Group? Have you Belly Danced, moved to Tai Chi, laughed out loud at Yoga, do you still have your original Life Drawing or Portraiture creations?
Please share you fondest memories of your time at SNH. You can comment below, send a private message or email to manager@sunburyhouse.com.au
We miss you and cannot wait to re-open the doors...

I doubt our garden ornament and plant thief is a "like and follow" of our page but just in case you are, I sincerely hope our plants that we and our SNH family love and tend to and our ornaments that bring so much joy to our children when they come to playgroup and guitar lessons brings you just as much happiness. Please make sure you are kind to them when you re-pot them as you left some of their roots behind in their former home. Perhaps you would like to take a book from our library next time you visit over night, they are free and were out last night - just as you were. Be kind, stay safe, we ❤️ Sunbury.

Books, books so many books. Let me know if there is a book from our collection you would like to borrow. I can leave it out the front of Sunbury Neighbourhood House in our free little library.......

We may also be looking for a new library volunteer when we reopen.

Dear friends of Sunbury Neighbourhood House (SNH),
RE: COVID-19
SNH is currently open and operating on a business as usual basis. We are still providing our regular programs, activities and opportunities and hope to continue doing so until further notice.
We receive regular updates from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), our peak body Neighbourhood House Victoria (NHVic) and any advice and guidance from Hume City Council (HCC) regarding Corona Virus COVID-19.

Hi all. We are having internet issues today, possibly as a result of the very intense storm this morning. Phones are still working and programs as usual.....

In the last two days we have seen nectarines, plums, cucumbers, tomatoes and spring onions all home grown in various local gardens swapped and gifted through SNH. How brilliant!

Does your child want to learn how to play the guitar? We have small group guitar tuition with Andy, who is quite possibly the most patient, supportive and enthusiastic guitar teacher out there.

You spoke and we listened. Recently many people had come to SNH seeking afternoon activities for their babies and toddlers. 85% of participants of our recent poll said they just want a casual opportunity to meet other parents from the local area. In response we are delighted to introduce "Drop in and Play" - literally just drop in and stay for a play on Monday afternoons commencing Monday 6th of Jan 2020. Please see our poster attached. Please share, share, share.........can't wait to see you all.
