Multicultural Social Support - Portugal and Portuguese speaking people
AGED CARE

The Multicultural Social Support project provides opportunities for practical and emotional support for Portuguese speaking Seniors and their carers.

Meets for social interaction, information sessions, games, morning tea and light lunch.  Books, audio books, Videos and DVD's in community languages are available for loan. Information about other relevant services is provided in order to assist people to manage their own affairs and to continue to live safely and independently at home. Some people contribute to Wrap with Love - a knitting group that makes blankets for people in need.
