A mobile playground, music-based playgroup, community lunch and a remembrance service on February 7 are part of a two-week campaign to support fire-affected communities.

Salvation Army community development worker Jo Ensor said the initiative, named Remembering Black Saturday, was open to anyone in need of a chat and time away from the rigours of the rebuilding process. "

It can take a very long time for people to come to grips with. "There's no pressure to get involved. Our services are here for those who want to use them."

Salvation Army Eastern Victoria bushfire recovery manager Luke Roberts said the organisation's focus had shifted from material aid to one-on-one support.

"Everyone's at a different stage. Some people are rebuilt, moved in and settled to a degree.

"But there are still people at the start of the process, deciding whether or not to rebuild."

The focus on children's activities in Healesville would give parents the opportunity to meet up with people they might not have seen for a while, Mr Roberts said.

"It will get the parents to come out and talk to people, if they want to. The past year has been a difficult time.This fortnight is about community inclusion."

The Salvation Army Healesville is open from 10am-8pm daily until Friday, February 12. Details: 59624085.
