Alamein Neighbourhood & Learning Centre

Alamein Neighbourhood and Learning Centre (ANLC) is a not-for profit community based organisation. It was incorporated in 1984 as Alamein Community Committee. In 2008 the organisation changed its name to Alamein Neighbourhood and Learning Centre Inc. It provides a positive focus for community involvement for community members, learners or volunteers. The centre is situated in the suburb of Ashburton close to the Alamein railway station.

Alamein as a location began as a Public Housing area within the suburb of Ashburton. Historically, a large proportion of the local population was and still is deemed disadvantaged due to economic, health, social and educational factors.

A large network has been established with community organisations and self help groups in both education and community development, including the Ashburton, Ashwood & Monash Neighbourhood Renewal Project. At present the ANLC is the umbrella organisation for a variety of projects that have been identified to meet the needs of the Alamein/Ashburton community.
