Social Support provides support and activities for people wanting to improve their independence and confidence at home and in the community.
We help people to remain in their homes longer by helping them to:
- Regain and learn new skills
- Connect with others
- Develop wellness and physical health
The Centre provides a safe and comfortable environment. It also provides support to anyone caring for a relative, friend or elderly person living at home.

We are a community based Centre providing organised groups, individual activities and outings. Activities are designed to suit the goals of each person with their agreement, and these may change over time.
These may include:

- Music

- Increased mobility and coordination through the Strength and Balance program
