23.01.2022 Housing Choices SA advises that in line with Government health advice our team will be reducing the time they spend based in the office in the coming two weeks. At this stage we remain open for business and available to assist with all property, tenancy and support program matters. However, our community activity programs and group activities will stop for the next fortnight. ... As we have a reduced team in the office, if you need to see a team member please call ahead to book a time to visit. Please consider whether we can assist you by phone or email first. If we all reduce our movement and face to face contact with people outside of our households over the coming fortnight, together we can play our part to help beat this latest outbreak. We understand that this is a worrying time, help is available, contact Lifeline on 131 114 or call the Mental Health Emergency line 13 14 65

19.01.2022 On Tuesday our weekly walking group headed West in the van, and visited beautiful Henley Beach. We parked and took a stroll along the Esplanade and jetty enjoying the salty air and sea breeze. We were lucky enough to have a dolphin swim past and it was easy to spot in the clear blue water. We ended the visit with a coffee at Joe’s at Henley Beach. The walking group leaves from Light Square every Tuesday at 10am.
