Nedlands Community Care - Social Support Calendar

Social support activities include Out ’n’ About trips, dinner club, Friday Social Events, Take-off Tuesdays, book clubs, computer classes and more.

Being part of the social community plays an important part in maintaining a sense of individual wellbeing.

You need to be assessed for eligibility and be a resident of the City of Nedlands or surrounding areas and a client of NCC to access these activities.

A supportive group of volunteers also provide assistance with transport to medical appointments, visits to the shops and library and one to one social visits. If you know someone who would like to

join the social support program but is not a client of NCC, please ask them to contact the friendly staff at Nedlands Community Care for further information.

We often have a waiting list for these events so if you need to cancel, please provide us with as much notice as possible so we can arrange for someone else to take your place.

In some instances, last-minute cancellations may incur a cancellation fee. If this fee is applicable, it will be outlined specifically for each outing.

Times of events are approximate and vary according to the distance the driver has to go to pick up clients. We will call you before the event to confirm your attendance and again a day or two before with your pick-up time.

What about payment?

Payment can generally be made on the day of the event. Please try to have the exact money as we may not have change available, please note that transport fees are $8 per trip and lunch is usually at your own expense.

Should I bring anything?

You may wish to bring a bottle of water and a cushion for your comfort, especially on long drives. Please let us know if you have any special needs so we can make suitable arrangements. Special needs could be dietary requirements, a walking frame etc.

Information

Please book early to avoid disappointment, we often have to book and organise catering and some outings fill up quickly.

What about the weather?In summer, we suggest you bring a bottle of water and wear light clothing, sun screen is also advisable. In winter, it is a good precaution to carry a small umbrella and a jajacket or warm jumper.Please note, on occasion, we may have to cancel an outing due to bad weather conditons.
