Fundraising Concert
October 29, 2008
Our Fundraising Concert was a huge success. A large crowd were entertained by the Bearbrass Ensemble, brought together by Peter Henley form Mallesons. We also heard a piece from some members of the Australian Youth Orchestra. A big thanks to Collins Street Baptist for use of the church and to Mallesons for their support. Also a big thank you for to those who donated the great raffle prizes, including Cricket Victoria with a signed bat.

Wanted: Residents for 2009
Central House Residents
Credo Café is an open lunch space for many of Melbourne’s marginalized, in the basement of Central House. The residential staff significantly contribute to the running and sense of community that exists in and around Credo Café. They also gain exposure to public advocacy, street work, hospitality and community building aspects of our work. At Central House, the back of Collins St. Baptist Church, the residential Community lives in a unique context, located between the city's most extreme contrasts of wealth and poverty. Members of the community commit to at least 3 days a week to the work of Urban Seed, for which they receive accommodation but are not paid. There is an annual intake of new residents through a formal orientation program. Residents must be 21 years or over.
Married couples and mature-aged people are very welcome.
