The project funding is limited to 20 Elders and at this point is full.

Our team is always happy to plan visits with elders. Whether it's to sit and enjoy a leisurely cup of tea together, play a friendly game of crib, or take a leisurely stroll in the warm sunshine, we're committed to creating meaningful and joyful experiences for our elderly friends.
