Not-for-profit organisations such as Shoalhaven Neighbourhood Services are an integral part of community life here in the Shoalhaven. Since 1977 we have been supporting people in our community by offering information and referral services and targeted programs that support people who are vulnerable or disadvantaged. Our unique legal status of an incorporated association means that we are a member based organisation and our members are our owners.

Membership
