Building Belonging One Cup at a Time

The Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre invites all members of our community to come together with us in a supportive environment, regardless of their background or life experiences.

We deeply value the sharing of stories, the exchange of knowledge, and the cultivation of strong, positive relationships among our members.

Our aim is to create a true sense of belonging by uplifting one another through life’s various challenges. It is important to recognise that loneliness often arises from the perception of disconnection rather than physical solitude.

Loneliness isn’t just about being alone — it’s often the feeling or perception of being disconnected. It’s a state of mind, and one we aim to ease by creating meaningful connections within our community.

This month, we are delighted to announce another Morning Tea, an enjoyable occasion designed to diminish feelings of loneliness through the simple joy of gathering over a cup of tea and freshly baked scones in our welcoming space.

Our focus this time will be on how we can use our experiences and knowledge to support one another — whether it’s through sharing a recipe that could help a family save a few dollars or offering some advice and wisdom for those going through life’s obstacles.

Everyone is welcome, and we’d love to see you at the Centre to be part of the positive change, helping end the sense of loneliness and disconnection in our community.
