What are our community programs?
Specially designed programs for those living with dementia and their carers to provide entertainment, engagement, socialisation and connection.
These six-week long programs will provide you and your loved one with an opportunity to participate in an interesting and engaging activity together, run with our trusted partners; The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and Taronga Zoo.
Running throughout the year, these programs are designed to connect you to other families living with dementia and provide you with an activity you can both enjoy. They provide huge benefits for those living with dementia and also support and camaraderie for the carers.
