50 Years of Local Connection celebrates the incredible history of The Junction Neighbourhood Centre (JNC), a not-for-profit organisation working to provide a diverse range of community services.

This year, The Junction Neighbourhood Centre is excited to be celebrating 50 years of working in the local community. Since 1974, JNC has been creating community connections, supporting community members, and providing a diverse range of community services to people in the Eastern Suburbs and, more recently, Inner Sydney.

The presence of the neighbourhood centres, their role in addressing social isolation, the trust that they have built and the services that they have provided, have led to local neighbourhood centres like JNC becoming a key component of local social infrastructure. Today JNC continues to enhance wellbeing and build resilience in the community through their quality service delivery. JNC thanks everyone who has been a part of their story, including clients, staff, volunteers, and funders.

This exhibition is free and will be on display during library opening hours from 4 October to 30 October 2024.
