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.
If you are interested in residency at Central House, Melbourne contact Virginia on

New Staff at Urban Seed
July 23, 2008
We have a number of new faces around Urban Seed. We welcome to our Youth and Schools team Sarah Scott Webb from New Zealand. Also from New Zealand is Talitha Fraser who is coordinating our admin (what a task!). Kerri Cassidy has been appointed to do our accounts and we thank Mike Chambers for his services in this area for a number of years as he leaves us. We will also be saying goodbye to Credo Cafe Coordinator Luke Wilkinson who is leaving the city but remaining a part of the Urban Seed family in a role at Geelong. The wonderful Rohan Goffin will be taking on Credo Cafe responsibilities.
