About Fun, Food and Friendship and the Melbourne Social Club

What is the aim of the Melbourne Social Club?

• Provide a award winning social club in Melbourne that has a wide range of interesting Melbourne social events and social activities. We have run over 4,100 social events around Melbourne. 
• Enrich the social lives of other Melburnians by bringing people together to socialise around Melbourne and enjoy social activities and events. The Melbourne social club has helped forge many long term friendships in Melbourne including several marriages.
• Make Melbourne social by helping our members meet new people and make new friends in Melbourne and reduce social isolation within the community. We have also received a commendation from the City of Melbourne for our dedicated contribution to Melbourne and its people for making Melbourne social for over a decade.
• Provide great service to our members. We are very highly ranked in Google and Facebook reviews with over 2,600 fans. In 2023 and 2024, we qualified for a service award from Word of Mouth Online (WOMO) to be in the TOP 5% of companies based entirely on customer feedback and rated 4.8 stars out of 5 stars.

• Encourage people to become aware and involved in various community, sports and social events in Melbourne such as the Christmas Day Picnic that has been running over 10 years and is open to everyone. On Christmas Day 2017, 2018 and 2019 over 100 people attended this free social community festive event in Melbourne. After a break in 2020/2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions, we were pleased to run the Christmas Lunch again that allowed the community to come together again to enjoy Christmas Day with new friends in Melbourne.  
• Support charitable causes through charity donations.  We have raised thousands of dollars for charity over the last 18 years.
