Social Support

Sometimes it’s nice to have someone help you start a new hobby, meet up with family and friends or reconnect you to your local community.

Looking for some social support?

Flexible support so you can keep doing what you love and stay connected to your community.

What can I get help with?

We can support you to stay connected and engage with your local community. Whether you want to further your skills, see a movie, meet new friends or try something new, we can assist you with arranging transport, accompanying you and providing the personal support you require. We believe social support is integral to maintaining physical and mental wellbeing.
