Vision Australia provides telephone, centre based activities as well as excursions to support people with vision impairment to continue socialising and stay involved in hobbies, interests and sports. Participants meet according to shared interests or needs.

Centre based day respite is available at St David's Neighbourhood Centre through our Harmony Club. The Harmony club provides companionship and social contact for our clients. For many, the friendships developed by clients, staff and volunteers make a trip to the Harmony Club a highlight of the week. Activities on offer at the centre include craft & scrabble groups, indoor bowls and guest speakers and we head out to local places of interest.
Food is prepared on our premises by a qualified chef so those who attend the Harmony Club enjoy freshly cooked morning tea and lunch. Dietary needs can be catered for.
Transport is available from selected suburbs to and from the centre each time a client attends. Please contact us to see if your suburb is included.

Come along to our friendly Werrington group to enjoy activities like yoga to keep you physically and mentally active. We meet every Wednesday from 10am until 1.30pm.

Working in partnership with participants, we develop group activities based on preferred interests, hobbies and abilities. Some activities are tailored to support people to retain or learn new skills, and to participate at a level they are most confident and comfortable with. Group-based activities may include:
• art, craft and other hobbies
• men’s, women’s and mixed social groups (games, guest speakers, entertainment, bus trips, lunch outings)
• wellness groups (gentle exercise, massage, education and discussion)
• educational activities/courses.
Activities are flexible depending on interests and skills people bring to the group. Group based activities are currently held at a venue in the Noarlunga Centre area. Transport to and from the venue may be provided, depending on your circumstances. Staff and volunteers are trained in supporting older people and people living with dementia.

Yoga
This class is aimed at focusing on one’s physical and emotional wellbeing. Various movements are incorporated, from static to more dynamic and free flowing poses. The slow pace and simple breathing exercises make it a great place to learn basic poses and become comfortable on the mat.

Participants will need to bring their own yoga mat
