Thriving Playgroup for CBD families In response to a growing need, Common Ground established a playgroup in Adelaide’s central business district to support the growing number of families living in the area. It is a thriving success. The Light Square City Playgroup opened this year and is located at Common Ground’s Light Square premises in the city. It is facilitated by the Department of Education and Child Development through the Sturt Street Children’s Centre. This new initiative has been enthusiastically embraced by parents and children and provides a comfortable way for families from all over the community to come together to learn and develop. Those attending are from all over Adelaide and include residents from Common Ground. Common Ground’s State Manager, Julie Duncan, commented that “We want to ensure we not only support our residents to go out and connect with the wider community, but also to bring the community into Common Ground. This is important for our organisation, our residents and our city.”
