I ♥ Kensington

Kensington is full of many inspiring stories of local people working together to make an even more connected, inclusive, and sustainable neighbourhood.

Check out some of the examples below:
  • Food resilience

    When lockdowns hit there was a sharp drop in supplies of fresh food relied on for essential food support programs to vulnerable local people. In response, more than 300 kilos of fresh food was grown locally and distributed to people experiencing disadvantage through a collaboration between The Venny, Living Learning Australia, Kensington Stockyard Garden, Kensington Community Garden, Kensington YMCA, Unison Housing, Kensington Neighbourhood House with support from the City of Melbourne.
