Seeds Bendigo

Seeds Bendigo is located in the socially and economically disadvantaged area of Long Gully, north of Bendigo. Historically, Long Gully boomed during the gold rush, boasting a fire station, a primary school, its own police station and courthouse as well as numerous businesses. Most of these have now disappeared. In their place has come generational poverty, drug abuse and family breakdown, to name just a few issues.

The Seeds Bendigo cluster consists of 11 people, including 3 couples and 3 children. They are committed to living in Long Gully in an incarnational and relational way. There are also various volunteers who connect with the Long Gully community through Seeds.

Some of the activities that Seeds Bendigo is involved in include:

• Weekly prayer
  
• Outdoor Edge, an outdoor education program for young men
  
• Involvement in the neighbourhood house through various youth activities
  
• Seeds Seminars: a public seminar series on faith, community and culture
