The LIVVIng Room is true inclusion in action, employing people with disabilities and connecting those of us who are socially isolated in a safe, fun, vibrant environment. A place where everyone belongs. The vision is to create a social enterprise cafe supported by a community space where people can meet and connect at all stages and ages.
The LIVVIng Room will replace our community’s much-loved Livvi’s Cafe, which you can find next to everyone’s favourite playspace, Livvi’s Place, at Timbrell Park, Five Dock. This upgrade will enable us to offer the community a bigger space with greater opportunities to connect through our Community Circle programs whilst supporting more people who find it challenging to secure mainstream employment to gain a real job, develop real skills, earn real money and become a really valued member of the community.

THE LIVVIng Room is FULLY FUNDED!! 🙌
Having received DA approval in September 2023, Touched by Olivia has been working tirelessly to make this dream a reality! So…..🥁…..We are thrilled to announce that the Australian Government has committed the rest of the funding required to progress this project to construction. We are still keen to hear from any organisations or potential partners looking for a sponsorship opportunity.
