Event Description

You're invited to our weekly recreation program in Kooyong, to join in fun activities, where you can meet new people who share similar interests to you.

Our program enables members to socialise with other people who are blind or have low vision, in a safe and supportive environment whilst participating in a diverse program. The program incorporates regular activities but is also designed to be flexible. The programs are conducted by qualified staff members with assistance from trained volunteers. The program includes:

  • Walking group
  • Special lunches and outings
  • Crafts – including knitting, basketry, pottery and leather work
  • Tours of places of interest
  • Indoor games
  • Discussion groups
  • Newspaper and quiz reading.

If you need extra assistance, you are welcome to come with a carer as the recreation staff and volunteers are not able to assist with personal care needs.
