The neighborhood house, formerly known as the Haugerud Volunteer Centre, functions as a meeting place for voluntary activity in the local environment in Oslo. The organization facilitates various voluntary activities and offers an open house cafe, where residents can gather and participate in social events. Among the regular activities are neighborhood dinners and waffle meetings, as well as a walking group and night owls that contribute to safety and community in the area.
The neighborhood center also has a visiting friend scheme for the elderly, which provides opportunities for social interaction and support for this group. It is a collaboration between the Church's City Mission and Alna District, which strengthens local involvement. The organization emphasizes privacy and confidentiality, which is important to create a safe environment for the participants. In addition, Nabolagshuset participates in local events such as the TV campaign and offers voluntary opportunities in Haugerud Football.
