CONNECTING UP

‘You feel like you’re part of somewhere. It’s a nice feeling.’

StreetLife

We want to help people feel connected to their communities and holding a street party is a great way of doing this. If you want to have a Street Party, we can help you with organising, getting the street closed, providing a BBQ. We can even help with public liability insurance. For more information, contact our street party coordinator at Alma Rd Community House

Port Phillip Pets & the Walking Woofs

PortPhillip Pets is a unique business—community partnership to improve the well being of our four and two–legged community.  PPCG has partnered with PetStock South Melbourne, a market leader in animal care supplies to develop a fantastic series of pet events as well as the ongoing sponsorship of a weekly Walking Woof Club.

PortPhillip Pets already does fantastic work bringing together isolated pet-owners and helping them to get out & about. We also plan to;

• Increase education about pet-care and responsible pet ownership, especially for people who are marginalised and Non-English Speakers
• Broker contributions of pet care products from suppliers to low income pet owners
• Develop respite for animals whose owners are ageing or sickly
• Support low income pet owners to have their pets vaccinated and de-sexed, and
• Share the pet-love to build connections across Port Phillip
