The Newman Neighbourhood Centre’s goal is to support a strong, vibrant and connected community to enhance the quality of life for families and individuals in Newman, a remote mining town in Western Australia.
This year, Newman Neighbourhood Centre held a Pride Week celebration, across 4 days in the first week of June. The Pride Week events included inclusion training for staff, drag bingo, drag story time, a drag make-up lesson, a family rainbow run and a street party on the final day, with LGBTIQA+ comedians and performers including dressing some town members up in drag. The PFA Small Grant contributed to the running of Newman Neighbourhood Centre’s Pride Week celebrations.
