Eurobodalla Meals on Wheels supports the community in several ways. It lives up to the slogan of ‘More than just a meal’.
This week its Group Social Support activities recommenced over three days.
The first week back has been a great success with new and old clients keen to meet up, share experiences and participate in the activities offered.
The organisation’s manager, Alan Russell, said that everyone was happy to be together again, with volunteers, clients and staff enjoying the three days together.
"I believe the chatter was endless and the laughter was loud and could be heard by others nearby. The aim is to eliminate loneliness and isolation for those who are at home, often alone, and who have very few visitors.
“Expanding our social connectedness is important for everyone and especially for the older person who may have family living elsewhere and can not drive to events and appointments,” says Mr Russell.
The clients enjoyed a day at Narooma on Monday which was a great catch up but had a focus on hats for the Melbourne Cup.
A Melbourne Cup luncheon on Tuesday at the Tomakin Club and a number wore hats for the occasion.
Social activities on Thursday were in Malua Bay at the Community Centre with the focus being bout having a ‘Whale of a Time’.
Over the rest of the month exciting activities come under the following headings of Sticks and Stones, Movies- ‘Tickets Please’, Taste of Life, Chefs Table and Lights Camera Action.
So let your imagination run wild and you maybe able to guess the related activity.
Activities will continue through until the middle of December. Then there will be a break for a month and the group will resume in mid-January.
It is hoped that 2022 will operate without lockdowns and interruptions.
The clients take advantage of the transport provided from door to door, lunch, a range of activities, and look forward to welcoming new people to the groups.
