Who we are

The Hamlet is a centre for young adults with additional needs aged 19 - 25 where they can learn skills for their future. We are passionate about empowering our young people with the tools that they may need for employment, independent living or to take their next step on their own individual journey. On site we already have three well establish vocations; a cafe which is open to the public and run by our Trainees, a printing shop where the Trainees make personalised merchandise such as canvases and mugs and a retail outlet which sells food and daily essentials.

Our Next Step

It's now time for The Hamlet to take its next steps and open a new vocation to provide another experience for our young people. After a lot of discussion with the Trainees to see what they would be interested in, they have decided that they would like to see a florist at The Hamlet. 

Due to the closure of the public toilets where we are located at Three Sisters Recreational Park, we now have the opportunity to convert the building into a Florist. We just need your help. The money we hope to raise will help to do the necessary building work to renovate this building into a fully equipped florist.
