Spectrumâs social support groups offer activities aimed at enhancing the skills and social connections that older people need to continue living independently, as well as providing respite and support for carers. Meeting at community centres around Melbourne, our groups offer people a range of social and cultural activities in a relaxed and fun environment.
These groups are focused on the needs of people from specific cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
They aim to provide physical, intellectual, emotional and social stimulation in a welcoming and warm environment.
How they work
We provide a wide range of activities that are tailored to the needs of the group and the individual members. Group members enjoy activities such as gentle exercise, basic English classes, topical information sessions on current affairs and culturally specific activities.
