COMMUNITY FRIENDSHIPGROUPS
T he Community Friendship group at St Catherine’s, Elizabeth Downs has been running since 2012. When the group began it built on the energy of the Parish Fellowship Group which had been meeting weekly for many years. Five years on Belinda Cummins and Natasha Fennell, AnglicareSA Lifestyle Enhancers together with Jill Rivers, AnglicareSA Parish Community Worker, and Joyce Little, a leader within St Catherine’s congregation continue this work in partnership with the community of St Catherine’s parish. A very welcome addition to this vibrant community over the last couple of years is a group of Workskil youth who are fulfilling Centrelink requirements. Their involvement with the group provides a youthful energy and interactions each group would not normally experience. Organised activities held on the fourth Tuesday of each month have created a consistent following among the participants – clients and parish people alike - with a usual group consisting of 10 parish members, 40 to 50 Anglicare clients and a few Anglicare staff supervising. Our ‘Christmas in July’ activity included a festive morning tea and roast lunch, overseen by the Workskil youth. We sang carols, shopped at the fresh food market and enjoyed each other’s company!
If you would like more information regarding the group please contact Jill Rivers on 0488 589 053 or jrivers@anglicaresa.com.au

NEWNAMES, BUSINESS AS USUAL M arket research conducted in 2016 revealed that while the AnglicareSA brand is well known and respected, there is very little awareness that we provide residential, in-home and other aged care services. Accordingly, we have re-named our Residential Aged Care sites to more closely be associated with our brand and their location. As part of Anglicare SA's marketing drive to increase awareness of aged care services, all of our Residential Aged Care site names have changed. To enable a consistent, logical and uniform approach across sites and to improve the visibility of our brand and awareness of aged care sites, each site will be renamed with the name Anglicare SA and a geographical descriptor and site signage will be upgraded accordingly.
