CASEY church-based organisation Casey Life now has a new home to help it continue it services to the community.
Casey deputy-mayor Wayne Smith and Cr Lynette Keleher officially opened the doors to the group’s new centre, based in Hampton Park Shopping Centre, last month.
Casey Life includes Casey Life Church, which also offers a fortnightly Sri Lankan service, a training centre and community services. The new facility is equipped with two training rooms and a multi-purpose and meals area.
Youth and children’s programs are run each week as well as free budgeting courses. An ESL course will start at the centre in the third term.
Casey Life Church pastor Graham Shand said about 60 volunteers assisted in seeing the project become a reality, along with many good and services being donated from the local community.
“The centre will provide the extra space needed, as we expand on the services that we are making available to the community,” he said.
“It was important to have a facility that was attractive and welcoming to people of all ages.”
