Christmas Party 2022
We had an amazing time celebrating the holiday season with our elderly clients at our annual Christmas party! It was a joy to see the smiles on their faces as we shared a delicious meal and listened to festive music.
Our clients are the heart and soul of our organisation, and it was an honour to spend this special occasion with them. We are grateful for the opportunity to create meaningful memories and provide a sense of community during this time of year.
Thank you to our volunteers, staff, and supporters who made this event possible.

Post-Lockdown - COVID-19
So far the year 2020 has been anything but normal. Health and safety concerns are at an all time high with the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide and the unusual detection of Ross River Virus (RRV) around the South West.
We have heightened all hygiene and sanitary measures to protect the well-being of all our wonderful elderly/disabled clients and staff members.
The generosity of our partner charities is crucial during these trying times. We would like to say a big thank you to Good360 Australia for providing not only cleaning products and toilet paper for our at home clients but also a massive 200 mosquito zappers to provide to those in RRV risk areas.

In March, Karen Goderie kindly represented our team by travelling out to Blackheath Public School to donate some children supplies to help support families affected by the fires. We would like to thank Good360 Australia for supplying most of the goods that were donated which included books and Legos.
Additional books were also supplied to pre-schoolers at Hazelbrook.
