21.01.2022 Kalamunda Wayfairer Workshop - CANCELLED

21.01.2022 Neighbour Day 2020 is an opportunity to expand our connections and understanding of community and neighbours in the broadest sense. Because every day is Neigh...bour Day! The need for connections and support is even more important now, when so many (already vulnerable) people are being asked to self-isolate. Given the public health challenges the world is currently facing we understand that getting together physically for some people may not be feasible and thats why we encourage everyone to find other ways to connect and engage with their neighbours and communities - that may not be face-to-face. Well be sharing more tips on social media in the coming weeks about how to connect in other ways. Remember though you may need to be creative - as not everyone is online! That said, if in doubt what to do. Be kind. #createconnections #relationships #endloneliness #endlonelinessaus #socialconnection #coronavirus

13.01.2022 SOCIAL CONNECT SURVEY! Were currently experiencing a lot of changes to the ways weve always done things and one of those is in the ways that we contact people and connect with others at this time. For some Seniors, its the first time that they have really had to use information technology (IT).... The Darling Range Seniors Hub believe a lot of people would like to use their devices or different programs, but arent sure how to. And we are here to help! We would like to understand if there is a need for assistance with IT and setting up devices to contact friends and family during this time. All you need to do is complete a simple survey by clicking the link below >>> https://bit.ly/3cmb2ZX

The hat competition was an amazing success and congratulations to our winner, and thank you Donna Faragher MLC for the wonderful gardening hamper. The men this year also embraced the occasion and a bottle of red wine went to our male winner. Pictures of winning hats and names to follow....... The sweep stakes sold out so...o quickly, and again congratulations to our $100 winner. Well done everyone and thank you all for your continued support for the Hub.
