Caring Neighbourhood Program

Caring Neighbourhood Program

The Caring Neighbourhood Program helps older people stay connected with their community. It is designed for people who may feel lonely or isolated due to age-related challenges. Friendly volunteers provide companionship, social support and regular connections that can make a real difference to everyday life.

Taking part in the program can support healthy ageing by improving social wellbeing, building confidence and reducing feelings of loneliness. Regular contact with caring volunteers can help people stay engaged with their community, maintain friendships and enjoy meaningful conversations. These social connections can also have positive benefits for emotional and mental health.

The program is supported by the City of Victor Harbor and includes staff who work with participants to understand their needs and connect them with the right support. If you are looking for a friendly connection, extra social support or an opportunity to stay involved in your local community, the Caring Neighbourhood Program may be able to help.
