About PICAL

Established in 1980, PICAL is part of the Gippsland region's Neighborhood Houses Victoria organization.

PICAL is a registered not-for-profit Community Centre connecting people to social and interest groups, community services and learning opportunities.  We value a safe, inclusive community. 

Programs: Our programs and activities include social and peer support groups, arts and crafts, learn local programs (including hospitality, sustainability and digital technology) workplace training, plus pathways to further study and employment. 

 

Services: PICAL provides a vital service to those experiencing hardship through our emergency food relief program.  Support is also offered through welfare service referrals, employment services and a Centrelink agency. The PICAL community garden supplies fresh produce to our pantry and has many opportunities for horticulture training, organic vegetable and fruit growing workshops, and local food swaps.

 

Room Hire:  Rooms are available to hire by individuals or groups for meetings, training and activities. 

Volunteers: PICAL relies on the assistance of our valuable community volunteers. We offer many opportunities for volunteer participation in all aspects of our activities and welcome the involvement of our local community. 

 

Membership: PICAL membership is open to everyone. Membership fee is $10 per calendar year. Being a volunteer does not automatically mean that you are a member. Membership is subject to approval by the Committee of Management.
