Break-in at St Helens Neighbourhood House
The St Helens Neighbourhood House was broken in to over the weekend. It was distressing to find two laptops stolen along with a flat-screen television.

It is very disappointing to think that people would steal from the House. The goals of the House are to support the community and the organisation achieves this through limited funding.
