About Us

Established in 1987

A Legacy of Support in Macarthur & Wollondilly

Big Yellow Umbrella is a community organisation providing programs, support services, and connection opportunities for children, young people, families, and seniors across Camden, Campbelltown, and Wollondilly.

For more than three decades, we’ve been working alongside local people to strengthen wellbeing, reduce isolation, and build a community where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Big Yellow Umbrella, originally founded in 1987 to provide much‑needed community services and facilities for the rapidly growing housing developments in the Macarthur region, has continually adapted to meet the evolving needs of an expanding and diverse community.

Big Yellow Umbrella is a not‑for‑profit, non‑religious and non‑political organisation based in Narellan, serving the Camden, Campbelltown and Wollondilly Local Government Areas.

Such a wonderful community program! My little one loved the Baby La La program and it was a great opportunity to meet other mums. Dani, the program leader brought great energy to the class and the content was always fantastic.

Big Yellow Umbrella Community Town Center is a true gem in our community. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted with warmth and a sense of belonging. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit a delightful experience. The variety of programs and events offered at the town center is impressive.

The center truly fosters a sense of community spirit and togetherness.

Baby La La is amazing! A fun, new theme every week, a new song sheet to take home and add to the repertoire, and most importantly excellent bonding time with bub. Music, movement and reading - my daughter and I loved it. Thank you Big Yellow Umbrella - we can’t wait for the next one!
