Description
Manuka Cottage Addington Community House Incorporated is a community development hub for Addington residents, and the wider community. It is a safe place to come and connect, make new friends and participate in it's many activities, groups and projects. Manuka Cottage exists to help people overcome barriers, to belong and to participate in the world around them. This is not a care facility. It is not a social service agency nor does it specialise in any other field other than what would be expected at a Community House. People who come here must be independent, polite and adhere to the Code of Conduct expected in any community organisation. If you cannot care for your own body or mouth, then Manuka Cottage is not the place for you.
