Weekend Playgroups is a non-profit, incorporated association.
Every family that continues to attend after a first trial session joins as a member and pays an annual fee of $3.
We have a small team of volunteers who make sure these sessions happen, benefiting all families who love coming to our weekend playgroup!
We are currently seeking new helpers for 2025.

Founder
Candice Martin started Weekend Playgroups to support other parents due to Victoria having very few weekend playgroups. Candice works full time and is extremely passionate about creativity, being organised, team work and music and loves helping the community.
Although Candice no longer volunteers with Weekend Playgroups, she's remains a member and a massive supporter!
