Sadly, there is a growing hidden epidemic of loneliness and isolation in our community. Nonetheless, Hornsby Connect is not just about food, as important as that is, but also about providing a safe place where people are able to come together to talk, socialise and feel part of a community. 

People are coming to us in record numbers with multiple and complex issues, with unemployment at the forefront as well as mental health. Hornsby Connect service expansion is critical in helping to meet this ever-growing demand. 

At Hornsby Connect we share the values of empathy, respect, inclusion, integrity and commitment. Together as a network we will continue to explore opportunities to better support vulnerable people in our community. 

We offer access to a cafe style drop-in centre providing a hot meal and allowing our clients to foster a sense of belonging. Beyond this, our good services also act as connection conduit point - opening doors to other important services that empower and support people living with disadvantages. We provide counselling and referral assistance.
