Social Support
Social support services can help you stay socially active and meet new people. Your Side coordinates a range of daily activities and day trips in the community to extend your social connections, keep you healthy and active and to simply enjoy your life. Our activities are designed around your interests with other like-minded people.
These include:
- Movies and lunches
- Day trips to fun locations
- Annual events including the Sydney Royal Easter Show or Vivid Festival
- Group activities to support your use of technology to communicate with family interstate or overseas
- Outings to theatres, art galleries and museums
- Historical sites and building visits
- Online activities through Zoom such as gentle exercise classes, choir, book club, trivia, etc.
I’m much happier, healthier, and positive. I’m active in classes and I feel my life is full with social activities.
I love activities through the online social support sessions. I’m also learning new dance moves from the dance group online on a Tuesday afternoon. I’m very grateful to Your Side for putting on these online events at such a low cost which has been really, really helpful in a hard time. We laugh a lot as well!
Through these activities, I have made so many new friends and I was able to eat with more people, not just on my own. The exercises also help me to relax and activate my muscles.
