Tuesday 26 July at 12.30pm Southport Playhouse is launching operation big fridge - an art project by children and parents celebrating 25 years of provision occasional care the community.
The projected will be launched by Kasey Edwards and Playhouse committee members. A light lunch, a big fridge art workshop, children’s activities, and a tour of the playhouse is included. Southport playhouse is located at the family and children’s hub on Clark st immediately to the left of the Port Melbourne primary school.
Southport Playhouse is a non-profit community-based organisation which has offered childcare to hundreds of local families over the past 25 years.
Playhouse was established in 1985 by a group of mothers who needed low-cost, short-term childcare. Currently Playhouse has 50 members and another 40 families on the waiting list. Over the years it has become a much needed community service in an area with high childcare demand, providing a wonderful environment for children to interact and for parents to take a break and reduce social isolation and build social connections with other parents.
Playhouse has recently been notified by the state and federal governments that our sole source of funding will end December this year. Unless both state and federal government start working together to reinstate funding Playhouse will have to close their doors before Christmas. Operation big fridge encourages the community to support & celebrate the value and ensure the future of Southport Playhouse.
