What happens at a Twenty10 group?
A lot! Sometimes we have guest speakers. Sometimes we may go out for dinner. At other times we may have a planned discussion or activity. When projects are happening, group time may be taken up by project work - Mardi Gras float making, script writing, art workshops, theatre sports, etc. Then there are those nights where we just kick back, relax and chat.
When accessing groups, you are required to follow our safe space guidelines. You can read the guidelines by clicking here.
If you or your parents have any questions, you can call our group worker, Julia on (02) 8594 9552 or 0466 67 2010 or e-mail her via groups@twenty10.org.au.
