The Rowley Community Centre Charitable Trust is a place of connection, support and belonging for the Hoon Hay / Rowley community and surrounding areas.
Originally established in 1993 as the Rowley Resource Centre Incorporated Society, the Centre was formed to support single mothers in the local area. Over more than 30 years, our community has grown and changed and so have we. In 2023, we transitioned to an independent Charitable Trust, a strategic move that strengthened our governance and ensured the long-term sustainability of our services - while remaining true to our original purpose.
Today, The Rowley Community Centre continues to support people of all ages and backgrounds, responding to the evolving needs of our community with care, respect and inclusiveness.
