Caring Neighbourhood Program - City of Victor Harbor

The Caring Neighbourhood Program (CNP) provides social opportunities that are based on companionship and friendship to enable people who are socially isolated through ageing or degenerative conditions to make meaningful connections within their local community. Social groups are an informal way for people to interact socially and form meaningful connections and friendships. CNP organises many group social opportunities each month, held weekly, fortnightly or monthly, these include: Lunch outings; bus trips; movie; art; singing and library groups. Many people have become isolated due to no longer driving, therefore it is essential to offer transport as part of our social engagement. Volunteers may be asked to pick people up and often journeys to the venues are an additional way for people to socialise and connect with others on our program whilst enjoying the opportunity to take in the natural surroundings.
