Content Summary:

Between July 1976 and June 1979 I was involved in the establishment of the Northside Community Service, as a sister organisation to the established community service organisations in Belconnen and Woden.

The initiative for the establishment of a community service for North Canberra came from the many churches in the area. I was involved as a volunteer from its inaugural meeting, joined the Executive Committee in January 1977, served as Treasurer from June 1977 to June 1978, and as President from June 1978 to June 1979.

This folder contains many documents relating to the early establishment of the Northside Community Service.

The service provides a wide range of home help services, outreach support services for the elderly, and child care and community support services for the residents of North Canberra. In May 1990 the service moved from temporary accommodation at Corrobborree Park to a permanent home at the North Canberra Community Centre in Dickson.

Includes folder 'Practical guide to bereavement...'
