Sandybeach Community Co-operative Society, known as Sandybeach Centre, was established by Bruce and Rosemary Morey and their family in 1982 as an independent, not-for-profit community organisation. Its unique public-spirited origin and structure makes Sandybeach a vigorous model for the community - a place for people to shape and deliver the services they need. Sandybeach Centre is a Registered Training Organisation and provides accredited and non-accredited adult education courses, lifestyle, leisure, health and wellbeing classes. Sandybeach also provides services to the community including occasional childcare, courses for adults with disabilities, social support for the frail elderly and respite programs for clients with dementia and their carers.
