There are plenty of reasons to get into the Christmas spirit at the Gin Gin Neighbourhood Centre with a range of fun and festive activities on the go.
Pop in for free Christmas photos with Mrs Claus on 16, 19 and 23 December and while you’re there, have a look at the Christmas Giving Tree to see how the community is coming together to support those in need.
Make sure to join in the fun at the final free community barbecue of the year where everyone is welcome to enjoy a bite to eat thanks to the Forgotten Foods to Fabulous Feasts program.
Don’t miss the chance to sing your favourite Christmas classic at the next All Ability Karaoke event on Wednesday 24 December.
This popular program will be back with more in 2026 so make sure to follow the Gin Gin Neighbourhood Centre’s Facebook page for updates.
Finally, embrace the season of giving by nominating a family in need for a Christmas Community Hamper as part of the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal.
Nomination forms are available at the Neighbourhood Centre where donations of non-perishable food items can also be made.
