St Carthage’s Community Care Seniors Day Clubs have been operating for over 30 years providing variety, stimulation, music, laughter and best of all, friendships to older people living in Lismore Local Government Area (LGA) and its surrounding villages.
Our club offers a friendly environment to unwind, socialize with friends, or engage in various activities. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers prepares delicious morning tea and hearty home-cooked lunches. Additionally, we organize a men’s bus group that meets weekly.
People often experience isolation for various reasons. You might be a full-time carer, find yourself without a life partner, or face physical limitations that restrict your activities.
Research indicates that social groups improve both physical and emotional health and well-being.
Our goal is to offer meaningful social opportunities where you can engage, meet new people, and explore different areas of the North Coast. Alternatively, you might simply want to get out and enjoy a cup of tea.
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, members of our social group can choose to be transported to St Matts for a day filled with fun, laughter, movement, and activities. Each day includes a delightful morning tea and lunch. Each of the groups also enjoy a monthly outing, during which we explore sights, visit places of interest, and dine at various venues across the Northern Rivers region.
Tuesday
Is a ‘Blokes Business Bus Group’. The men always look forward to their Tuesday outings; they are picked up and dropped home after going out. The men have morning tea and lunch at at different places throughout the beautiful Northern Rivers region and visit places of interest such as Men’s sheds, museums and parks. All activities and outings are arranged by themselves.
Friday
While primarily for our Italian ladies, everyone is invited to join. Activities include card games and Tombola, along with morning tea and lunch, with transportation within the local area available upon request.
