Programs and activities

The Jeays Street Centre hosts visiting programs, is a space that community groups can hire for meetings and activities and offers volunteer-led activities including: 

  • community garden working bees
  • mental health support groups. 

The centre is staffed by volunteers, so it is only open when programs are running. Keep up to date with what’s happening each month at Jeays St by viewing all programs and activities.
