Time2Connect

Anglicare embraces the power of community and the profound impact of human connection. Time2Connect is designed to foster meaningful relationships through two programs: intergenerational events between our Home and Community clients and school students; and a cookbook creation project with local parishes; both designed to enrich the lives of participants and strengthen our communities.

Intergenerational Program

Our intergenerational program brings together elderly clients to partner with local school students, offering numerous benefits for both groups. These initiatives foster mutual understanding and respect, as students gain valuable life lessons and wisdom from the elderly, while the seniors experience a sense of purpose and connection. Activities such as storytelling, arts and crafts, and technology tutoring create meaningful interactions that bridge the generational gap. These programs not only enhance social skills and emotional wellbeing but also build a stronger, more connected community.

Cookbook Program

The cookbook program is a collaborative project between local parishes and Anglicare, resulting in a heart-warming community cookbook. Parishioners contribute their cherished family recipes, creating a rich tapestry of culinary traditions and stories. Anglicare assists by providing professional design, ensuring the cookbook is visually appealing and well-organised. This initiative not only preserves and celebrates parish history but also strengthens community bonds, as parishioners share their love for cooking and connect over shared meals and memories.

It’s as simple as give an hour, receive an hour. Like others, you have time, energy or skills that someone else will value. In turn, you can receive the benefit of someone else’s talents or time.

Everyone’s time is valued equally, regardless of what skills are exchanged. You can participate whenever it suits you, so Time2Connect fits into your everyday life.

By participating, you will enrich your own life and also contribute to a more connected and supportive community.
