The Venny Inc

The Venny is a free communal backyard and safe space for children aged 5 to 16. The Venny has been open to the community of Kensington for over 40 years and recently expanded to Fitzroy in December 2023. Both facilities offer a special and unique space where kids can engage in risk-taking play, creativity and connectedness with other young people. The Venny also works with schools, agencies, families and more to facilitate intercultural sharing, food services, therapeutic support, and social cohesion in the local area.
