All of the same fantastic staff and services are still available as well as some new ones that locals are able to take advantage of with Catholic Care now visiting Grenfell once a fortnight.
From the moment you walk into the new location right in the middle of Main Street you are greeted with a smile from Liz on the front desk.
"The new location is fantastic," Liz said. "It's really good, we actually see people now."
According to Liz since the move there have already been locals coming in wanting to volunteer and help out in the community.
"Anyone can stop by, come on in and see what Weddin Community Services is all about," she said.
The new space is more like a drop in centre according to Weddin Suicide Prevention Project officer Chad White where locals can stop by and seek help or find out about events that are coming up.
Chad also said that free counselling services will soon be becoming available as well as all of the regular Suicide Prevention Project services including training, and referral pathways.
Chad is also encouraging anyone with experience around suicide to call in and speak with him to help not only the project's aim but to help the community as well.
Though the majority of services have now moved to Main Street, Meals on Wheels and Weddin Community Transport are still located on Short Street.
According to Liz WSC are always on the lookout for volunteers as well as transport claims and much more.
There are also some fantastic window displays out the front which locals are welcome to take a look at, as well as the notice board where trips and events will be advertised.
"Come in and speak to Liz about what else is on and coming up," Chad said.
The official opening of the new location will take place on Wednesday October 28 from 10am with the whole community invited to attend.
