In reporting back to us for the 2009 year the Coordinator advises us that the group continues to function well and to operate in the way it was originally set up. The target group are those people living in the Riverwood and the surrounding area who live with a mental illness and who would benefit from social contact. The group’s primary purpose is to provide an accepting, safe, friendly, non-judgemental environment where group members are able to socialise, access community resources and enjoy an inexpensive meal with tea and coffee.
The group has continued to access the church bus, and with the support of our volunteer drivers, we are able to use it for outings and our monthly picnic/BBQ. Our program includes train trips, ferry trips, walks, game days, craft, cooking demos, guest speakers, movie days and celebrations of Birthdays, festivals and special events. In this way we propose to help individuals expand their world-view, gain access to community resources, and facilitate a much needed social support network all in a safe and harmonious environment.
CCDP has been funding this project for a number of years.
