Holden Street Neighbourhood House is a friendly, welcoming community space in the heart of North Fitzroy. We are a wholly not for profit organisation that provides educational, recreational and skills based programs at low cost. We offer information and social support which endeavours to meet the needs of people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and cultures. We provide a hub where people can meet others, develop skills and confidence and feel a valued member of their community.
