On Thursday we will be back with another of our awesome Thriftsavers Op-Shop Adventures! This time we will be heading over to Sydney Rd in Brunswick to peruse Savers, Vinnies and some of the smaller stores, before getting a coffee/cake together. It’s a great opportunity to connect with locals from our Alphington community and hopefully find a fashionable and sustainable bargain or two.

We had such a fun time running these tours last year and are very excited to be doing them again. Thanks Clifton Hill/North Fitzroy Community Bank for supporting these trips!

We will leave from ACC at 10am (please be here on time) and come back at 2pm on public transport (but no need to bring a myki because it’s still free for this month!). If you are interested in joining us you can book in here at this link. We would love to see you!

The Melbourne Inner North End-of-Life Doula Hub are here again in Term 2, providing a supportive space for community members to come together to talk about death, dying, life and loss (topics that are often taboo or difficult for people to talk about). Each session will focus on a specific topic.

Join the discussion:

• Thursday 30 April: You’ve been diagnosed with a life limiting illness. What now? 

• Thursday 28 May: Living well until the end: The role of palliative care

• Thursday 25 June: Dying at Home: Support, care and choice

Registrations essential via e-mail to eoldoulasinmelb@gmail.com.

Please note: This group does not provide grief counselling or medical advice

Date and Time: 1.00 - 2.30pm, Last Thursday of the Month (February - November 2026)

Location: Alphington Community Centre (ACC), 2 Kelvin Rd, Alphington VIC 3078

Contact Persons: Andrea Babon (0405 812 965) / Ann Cox (0416 026 048)

Join us for the annual dawn service in Alphington Park at the memorial site (just near the bowls club) on ANZAC Day, Saturday 25 April at 6.20am.

The pipes will begin around 6.25am and the service will include In Flanders Fields, The Ode and The Last Post and Reveille.

All attendees are then invited to head into the bowls club for a cuppa and toast … and a chat.

Thanks to all the people that make this lovely event happen each year!

We’re back in the office on Monday 20th April, and straight back into community cooking on Tuesday 21st April. Join us for an eggplant pickle cook-up from 1pm. We’re exploring a new and exciting recipe that is being shared by Fiona (you make know her from her business Jams by Fiona) and she will be leading the session, with Kalimna providing any necessary assistance along with her her special brand of kindness.

Come along and join in. Coffee, a sweet treat and great conversation is also part of the deal!
