Maleny Neighbourhood Centre News

Maleny Neighbourhood Centre welcomes Madonna

Hampson, who joined the Centre on the 22nd May as our new Centre Coordinator.

Madonna has worked in both the corporate and not-for-profit sectors, most recently with Inspiring Brighter Futures Foundation, which offers a mentoring and wellbeing program for adults and young people in need.

She knows how to work with people to effect positive change.

MNC President Ian Demack said of Madonna, “I’ve seen first-hand the deft personal touch Madonna brings to her interactions with our staff, our volunteers, and the community. Over the next few months I’m sure you’ll see a lot of positive changes at the MNC, and I’m looking forward to working with Madonna to discover how much we can achieve. Onwards and upwards!”

Community Development Worker

Madonna has been working with the treasurer, Anne Robinson, to review the Neighbourhood Centre’s budget. There have been a few variables that needed to sort through, but the Centre is ready to progress with filling the Community Development Worker position.

So to everyone who applied, thanks for your patience and we’ll keep you in the loop

Recent June Trivia Night
