Social Support

Staying socially connected is just as important as looking after your physical health. Our bus and social outings give you the chance to explore new places, meet new friends, and enjoy meaningful experiences.

We also provide transportation or one-on-one support to help you with your shopping, take you to appointments, social events such as lunch with family, and individual activities such as trips to the park.

How we can help

Feeling isolated or stuck at home can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our social outings create opportunities to meet new people, share experiences, and enjoy a change of scenery in a fun, welcoming environment.

 

Connect, recharge and enjoy your social life.

Getting out and about is essential for your wellbeing. Sometimes, a simple outing can bring joy, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose. Explore new places, visit cherished landmarks, or simply enjoy good company with new friends.

Social outings

We offer a variety of outings, from museum visits and park picnics to scenic drives and group activities, giving you the chance to discover new places, engage in conversation, and create lasting memories.

The benefits of social outings include:

  • Enjoy a sense of belonging
  • Meet like-minded people and build new friendships
  • Explore beautiful locations, enjoy nature, or try new activities
  • Reduce stress, lift your mood, and stay engaged
  • Gentle physical activity to keep moving and enjoy the fresh air
  • Carer respite: take a break, knowing your loved one is engaged and cared for.

Supporting carers with respite

If you’re a carer, we understand how important it is to take time for yourself while knowing your loved one is in safe hands. Our social outings give carers a well-deserved break, providing peace of mind that your loved one is supported, engaged, and enjoying their day.
