Group Social Activities
(enjoy spending time with like-minded people)

Neighbourhood Link offers social activities for people over the age of 65 from East Fremantle and surrounding areas. Based at the Town's Dovenby House (behind Town Hall, 135 Canning Highway, East Fremantle), we come together to enjoy each other's company and a program of fun activities, including:

bingo, quizzes and games
coffee mornings and high teas
lunches and picnics
golf and ten-pin bowling
day trips and scenic drives
visits to parks and gardens
social and cultural events
hobbies and activity classes
theme days, complete with themed menus, and
much more

You can choose the days and activities that suit you.

One-on-One Support
(making independence easier with flexible in-home, out-of-home and respite support)

At Neighbourhood Link we help people stay active, connected and as independent as possible. Our free or low-cost support services are funded in full or part by government initiatives. Our friendly team can help you in all sorts of ways, including:

in-home visits - helping with everyday tasks, like making lunch and tidying up, or just to stop by for a cuppa and a chat
accompanied activities - running errands, helping with shopping, taking you to catch-ups with friends
flexible respite - helping caregivers take a break, so caregivers and care receivers can maintain healthy relationships - we offer respite support in your home (so you caregiver can go out) or in the community (so your caregiver can enjoy a break at home)

❤ At Neighbourhood Link we care for you as if you're our own loved one ❤

Vacancies for group social activities and one-on-one support are available now.
