The Supported Social Groups, also known as The Planned Activity Group (PAG), offers activities for older adults who would like to socialise with people of a similar age and ability.
The program is designed to support individual needs within a group setting.
There are specific days for people with dementia and also for people who are frail or have a disability. These programs provide stimulating activities which assist in maintaining independence in the community whilst providing carer support.
Other groups offer outings and centre based activities designed to maximise socialisation.
We are often looking for volunteers to help our staff. You can find the latest volunteering positions here.
