HELP US BRING JERRY THE MOUSE HOME!
We have been contacted by a community member who attended our Messy Play Day on Saturday as sadly their 2 year old has lost his beloved Jerry the Mouse.
If you happen to come across Jerry in his adventures please hand him in to Angliss Neighbourhood House and we will make sure these two buddies are reunited 🤞🏼🤞🏽🐭❤️

Over the school holidays we were lucky enough to be able to offer a free Trash Puppets workshop here at Angliss Neighbourhood House. So many wonderful puppets were made in a room full of teamwork, chatter and giggles 😊

Huge thanks to the Inclusive Communities and Environmental Sustainability teams at Maribyrnong Council who made this session happen for Plastic Free July.

Shout out to Puppets for inspiring us with your awesome puppets and for bringing a treasure of reusable trash! 😍
