About us
Northgate Community Services Trust is a community organisation that serves our community through services and programmes that encourage social connection and provide opportunities for making friends and serving others. We are not big enough to serve all the needs in our community, but we can connect people and help them build support networks around them can help and encourage them in the good and bad times.
We are very fortunate to operate out of the great facilities that the Northcity Church complex offers and we work closely with the church to support the community. We are here to help those in need and through our programmes we care for seniors, the lonely and isolated, and youth, and we try hard to be a welcoming place to everyone who walks through our doors, both to family and new friends.

We know that keeping up with technology can be a challenge, especially for those in the senior age group! Bring your cell phone, tablet or laptop in to us on a Friday morning and we'll see if we can help. Assistance with hardware is also available, so please enquire.
Essentials Programme
The MSD made more than $40 million available to support community organisations like Northgate, to provide emergency food to families that suffered some loss because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Northgate benefitted from this grant and was able to establish a regular provision of fresh veggies to families in need. In addition, it also established a pantry with non-perishable foods and set aside a freezer for frozen meals that can be given to the community.
More than just Food
Northgate is very privileged to have an Op Shop on our doorstep. Make Me New regularly provides clothes to families and individuals who are in some form of need. Members of the church and other community members generously provide other essential household items that can be donated to families. This includes items like bicycles, beds, and fridges.
