Somerville Community House Incorporated
Somerville Community House Incorporated is a not-for-profit community organisation operating in Somerville, Victoria. Affiliated with the Victorian Neighbourhood House Coordination program, it provides social, educational, and recreational activities to strengthen community connections[2][4].

The organisation runs a diverse range of programs, including arts and crafts, health and wellness sessions, gardening initiatives, and learning workshops. These activities cater to all age groups and are designed to foster skill-sharing and social engagement[1][3]. A key feature is its community vegetable garden and the Queen’s Jubilee Fruit Orchard, which includes espaliered fruit trees, reflecting its emphasis on sustainability and communal horticulture[3].

Operating from the Annie Sage Community Centre, the house collaborates with local health services to host child and family health programs, such as immunisation clinics and parenting groups[3]. It also supports volunteer-led workshops and events, encouraging local participation in program development[4][5].

Funded through state and local government partnerships, the organisation adheres to guidelines set by Neighbourhood Houses Victoria and the Community House Network[5]. Its structure emphasizes accessibility, with activities scheduled across weekdays, evenings, and weekends to accommodate varied community needs[1][3].
