Our Values and Vision

Mernda Neighbourhood House is guided by community development principles and practices, which are founded on the values of:

Social Justice, Equality and Inclusion

For us, this means fair treatment of all people in a society, including equal rights and opportunities to live a good life.

Community’s Vision

The Community’s Vision for Mernda Neighbourhood House was conceived by local community members early in 2019. This guides us in how and what we do at Mernda Neighbourhood House.
