For many years, Kids Off The Kerb has operated out of Thomastown, Victoria, where, through the generosity of a benefactor, we had the use of a significant amount of factory, office and training space from which to conduct various social enterprise projects. Currently, we are mainly utilising online platforms and meeting participants in a variety of community locations.
