The Community Place

The Heartists are back this Wednesday Night here at The Community Place Kalinga.

6pm - 8pm - Everyone Welcome!

After 6 weeks of chatting and chopping, our first group have completed the Meals 4 Mates cooking and nutrition course 🥳. They have been let loose to fry 🍳, bake 🥧 and saute 🧅 to their hearts content! 👩‍🎓 Congratulations guys 👏, and thanks to everyone for their input and efforts. And a great big thanks to Health and Wellbeing Queensland for providing us the opportunity to create this amazing program with our friends at Meals on Wheels!

Our next group starts July 22 and we have a full roster of eager particpants. If you know of anyone who is interested in taking part, there are still some slots availble for the September series. You can book here: https://www.trybooking.com/DKNIZ

activities has grown consistently from 10,316 people per week in 2021 to an estimated 29,438 people per week in 2025.
