Pioneer Clubhouse Pioneer Clubhouse
Lot 2 Quirk Road (off Balgowlah Rd)
Balgowlah, NSW 2093 Pioneer Clubhouse is on Quirk Road in Balgowlah.

We provide a safe, supportive, respectful environment for people living with mental illness. It’s a place you can go to meet other people with lived experience of mental illness, take part in activities and find the help you need on your mental health journey. Pioneer follows the Clubhouse model for recovery. This means that the staff and members manage it together and work side-by-side as colleagues doing administration work, running a kitchen and preparing meals (available at a small cost each day), maintaining the surrounds of the building, tending the vegetable garden, planning social activities and cleaning duties. By taking part in the daily running of the Clubhouse members learn valuable skills and build the confidence to find work. Pioneer Clubhouse is run by One Door Mental Health. Each member of Pioneer is welcome, wanted and expected to arrive each day.

The rain couldn’t stop our Tuesday outing crew! ☔️ 🚗 💨

Zoe almost had a full crew in the van (which she calls an airplane! ✈️ 😆) and off they went to The Tramshed for a coffee and a catch up.

We offer two weekly outings here at Pioneer Clubhouse where we go for coffee, a walk or explore our local galleries and other things that the Northern Beaches has to offer.

Give us a call or pop in for a visit to find out more!

🦒 TARONGA ZOO 🦒

What a cracker of a day yesterday was!

Members enjoyed many of the incredible shows on offer and we were lucky to see many beautiful animals - including giraffes, tigers and gorillas.

Thank you all for a fab day and thank you Taronga Zoo for having us! ☀️

Over the last six months our Gardening Group members have worked on our compost bins and just in time for spring planting - we have our garden gold!

We compared our compost soil with soil that’s been sitting in the pots for years and the difference is incredible! One of our members who eagerly watches Gardening Australia said Costa Georgiadis would be proud of it 🤗

So today we mixed the old with the new and planted our seedlings we’ve also worked on for the last couple of months 🌱

We can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Before the rain hit today the crew headed out for the Social Outing to The Tramshed for a coffee and catch up! ☕️

At the clubhouse the chill vibe was strong with Scrabble on the table, members on the guitar and blueberry muffins in the oven 😋

Whether you’re wanting to learn a new skill, find your community or simply have a cuppa and a chat - Pioneer Clubhouse is the place!

Today the potatoes went into their grow bags! 🥔

The Gardening Group team is hoping to have them ready for Christmas celebrations. We also planted tomatoes (which we will pop into our salads at lunch time and make relish with) as well as cucumbers and gherkins.

Keen to try gardening but never done it before?

You’re in the right place! We work together as a team 🌻 and many helping hands are proving to be giving great results.

What do members say?

🌸 “gardening calms me down”
🌸 “I feel included when I am gardening”
🌸 “I enjoy being outside in the fresh air”
🌸 “it makes me feel purposeful and it’s enjoyable and relaxing”

Today’s Baking Group crew whipped up a Blueberry & Lemon cake! 🫐 🍋 🤤

The cake came out sweet from the berries, fresh from the lemon and super moist from the secret ingredient - yoghurt!

Our baked goods are either used in our social groups or sold to our members which is another great reason to pop in to the Clubhouse 🥰
