I love the flexibility of Katoomba Neighbourhood Centre. Being a small, local organisation means we can respond to the community in a personal way. I love being able to work with the different groups, families and individuals in this vibrant community.

There are so many wonderful people who volunteer their time, skills and energy. Please feel free to contact me if you have an idea you would like to see happen in the community.
