2018 Autumn Newsletter – Social Support News

We have had another great start to all of our Social Support groups in 2018. Many activities have been enjoyed over the summer months including swimming, picnics, fishing and a whole lot more. I hope everyone who attended our recent visit to Jamberoo Action Park had a great day, I know I did!

Can I please ask that people do not attend the groups if they are sick? We have recently had a few people turn up to groups who were clearly unwell and it would be terrible for others to become sick because of this. This is particularly important with the Flu season almost upon us.

Also a reminder to parents and carers that all Participants who attend our Social Support Weekends Away must have all medication in a Webster Pak and their Medication information up to date. The Webster Pak helps to ensure that people are administered the correct medication at the correct time and are a safety measure for the group as a whole. If people continue to turn up to Weekends with medication that is not in a Webster Pak unfortunately they will have to be sent home.

I am currently working on a short holiday program for Social Support participants who have included short holidays in their Service Agreements with Interchange so keep your eyes out for that if that is you. We recently had the Youth Group short holiday Participants visit the central Coast and they said had the best time ever, the photos on our Facebook page attest to that.

If you have any suggestions or questions about activities or anything else please don’t hesitate to contact me.
