Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands across Victoria. We pay our respects to their spirits, ancestors, elders, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members past, present, and emerging. We acknowledge our gratitude that we share this beautiful land today, our sorrow for some of the costs of that sharing, and our hope and belief that we can move to a place of equity, justice and partnership together.
