To our Members and Friends,
Although the Belmont Neighbourhood Centre (BNC) is closed to the public, we want our community to know that BNC staff are available to support you in these challenging times.
Our phone number is 02 4947 0031. It is still open for calls Monday – Friday 9am-4pm and we can provide you with information, referrals and support as we all adjust to new social distancing measures. We know that many people in our community are living alone, are working from home and many parents are at home with their families and children. Our staff are available to chat if you are self-isolating in the home or need support from a familiar voice.
We’re Online!
Many people are staying engaged with each other via social media. We can connect with you via Facebook, Instagram, and Google Hangouts if you would like to chat.
New Online Services
We are excited to announce a new webcam service to our community, volunteers, members and friends. Even though we can’t meet with you in person, we are here to talk to you face-to-face via webcam if you have a smart phone or a webcam enabled laptop or desktop computer.
Book a webcam meeting with us:
- Webcam breaks – If you and your family are working or studying from home, take your morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea break with us, via webcam.
- Information, referral and support – If you are experiencing hardship, we can talk to you about your situation, how to access assistance and provide information that can help.
- If you are self-isolating at home, we can spend some time talking with you via webcam to check in with your mental health and provide social contact
- Our regular clients and volunteers – We really enjoy talking to our volunteers, members and friends. If you are a regular attendee at our centre, we would love to hear from you.
