Collinsville Neighbourhood Centre

Reflecting On 2025 And Looking To The Future

Collinsville Neighbourhood Centre had an incredibly busy 2025, filled with numerous achievements and spectacular highlights.

The centre reported over 7000 youth attendances at the Collinsville Youth Coalition for regular weekly trading and community events. The coalition also received over $25,000 in successful grants and sponsorships for equipment and enrichment programs thanks to contributions from GLENCORE, QCOAL Foundation, QLD COUNTRY BANK & AURIZON.

Many valuable community events were hosted over the course of the year, such as the Australia Day Awards and Ceremony, ANZAC Day Dawn and Morning Services and CYC Christmas Carnival.

There was no shortage of holiday programs and workshops, with over 20 being delivered, covering a vast area, from art roller discos to mental health awareness and kindness campaigns. Some of these programs included the Skateboard Workshop, Clay Day, Candle Making, Paints and Shakes, Music Bingo, Friday Night Teen Free Feeds, Basketball Competition, and Air Hockey Competition.

The Community Centre has supported various charities, local schools, and community groups, facilitating essential service visits, sports resources and promotion of tourist businesses.

With such an extensive organisation of activities and support of facilities, the Collinsville Neighbourhood Centre looks towards a bright future with great anticipation. The team have some great activities planned for 2026.

The centre continues to strive to bring ease and togetherness to the community.

2025 saw record attendances, and therefore the Collinsville Neighbourhood Centre looks forward to the adventures ahead in 2026.
