Site Visit - The Glen Rehabilitation Centre

Anne Charlton • August 28, 2022

The Glen - Giving Men & Women a way to a better life.

Last week we were so lucky to have the opportunity for a site visit to the The Glen Centre. We were treated to a fantastic breakfast and had the opportunity to learn about The Glen from the wonderful residents and staff.


Ngaimpe Aboriginal Corporation set up The Glen in 1994. Since that time, it has been an example of the Koori spirit, and indeed the human spirit. The Glen is the only male-specific Central Coast Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre and we are proud to provide opportunities for drug and alcohol

rehabilitation for Indigenous and non-Indigenous men from all over NSW.


The Glen’s program is designed to treat a client in a holistic manner by addressing all of their issues. This means that they treat the person as a whole (spiritually, mentally and physically). The Glen doesn’t just treat addiction, they also look at things in the client’s life that may be causing addictive behaviours. The program is about empowering people to take control of their lives, to live a good, fun life and to become active members of their families and the community as a whole.


We feel very blessed to have been so welcomed and had this time around the fire at The Glen. We thank the staff and the clients for their generosity and welcome to Gosford City Rotary.

Comedy for a Cause
By Peter Clarke January 27, 2024
Get ready to chuckle, chortle, and maybe even snort a little, because the comedy event of the year is about to land on the Central Coast! On the 1st of March, 2024, at 7pm, the Park View Room at the Central Coast Leagues Club will be echoing with laughter, all for a great cause. And who better to lead this laughter riot than the maestro of mirth, the sultan of satire, the one and only Peter Berner!
