Rooted in community.

Led by compassion.

Built on connection.

These aren’t just words — they shape everything we do at Myrtle House.

We believe in people helping people, and our work is centred around supporting our community. We provide childcare, help families access food, create spaces for connection and wellbeing, and open up opportunities through social enterprise — always with people at the heart of what we do.

Community

We believe everyone deserves a place where they belong. Myrtle House is a welcoming hub where people of all ages and backgrounds can gather, feel at home, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

Compassion

We meet people with kindness, dignity, and understanding. Whether someone is facing hardship or simply needs a listening ear, our response is always rooted in care and respect, offering practical support alongside genuine warmth.

Connection

Lasting change happens through relationships. We create spaces where friendships can grow, stories can be shared, and people can reconnect with hope, purpose, and one another.
