Linkwest

Right across Western Australia there are dedicated community spaces where people gather, connect, learn, and grow.

These places are known by many names: neighbourhood centres, family centres, learning centres, community centres, and community resource centres. Collectively, we refer to them as Neighbourhood and Community Resource Centres.

Linkwest is the Western Australian peak body for Neighbourhood and Community Resource Centres. We support them to develop vibrant, inclusive, and connected communities in Western Australia.

Most are community managed not-for-profits, and some are council run. While each Centre is unique, reflecting the needs and aspirations of their local community, all are local and welcoming to everyone.

People who attend their local Centre tend to be happier, more optimistic, have increased emotional wellbeing, and are more connected. All of which makes for stronger, healthier communities.
