We host and support a wide variety of community events, groups and activities across the Blue Mountains throughout the year.  Keep an eye on our Facebook page and What's On listings on this website for more information.  

Our 'Be Ready' Team are here to help you be better prepared for emergencies. Our goal is to increase your emergency preparedness incrementally and ensure you and your support network are aware, capable and prepared. 

Emergency food hampers are available through our Neighbourhood Centres for anyone in need of a little extra support with pantry staples. We can also help with information and referrals for other essential and emergency relief.  

Finding the right help and support can be a difficult and overwhelming process.  If we don't have the support you need, we can provide you with information about other services and connect you with people who can help.
