Community participation

Building and maintaining connections to your community through participating in community events will ensure you a happier and healthier life. Our carers can assist you with maintaining active and social community engagement, which can be tailored to suit your individual goals and interests. Our flexibility will allow you to see the people and do the things you want when you want. 

We will assist you to join a wide range of activities and community events such as: 

• Recreation and leisure activities i.e., movies, shopping and bingo
• Personal interest activities like art, cooking, volunteering, etc.
• Visiting the local library
• Arts and crafts centre
• Attend community programs, games and events
• Participate in gym, swimming, gold and bowling
• Catch up with family and friends
• Go to your favourite cafe 
• Provide company over lunch or dinner 
• Meet a community interest group 

Community participation is important because

• It helps participants build and maintain relationships.
• It helps expand skills to actively participate in the community.
• It helps participants communicate effectively.
• Encourages participants to build their independence.
• It can lead to improved well-being outcomes for participants, and their carers (in relation to health, employment, education, income and life satisfaction outcomes.)
