Welcoming Intercultural Neighbours introduces the ‘Friendship Corner’

The Friendship corner is a new program designed and facilitated by Welcoming Intercultural Neighbours Inc. (WIN) volunteers with the aim to support new residents of Gladstone to find new friends and build supportive connections. The program offers information about the services and facilities available within the Gladstone Region too. The Friendship Corner encourages people from diverse backgrounds – including locals and new residents, to come together at the Gladstone Inclusion Centre for a wonderful morning tea where new friendships can be established.

Belen Sanchez, from Italy, arrived in the region in mid-January and attended the first Friendship Corner event last month. “I enjoyed coming to Friendship Corner because it is a safe space to meet people, talk and exchange ideas,” she said.
