Neighbourhood Links

Linking individuals with their community - Outings Based Program

The aim of the Neighbourhood Links program is to enhance the quality of life for Home and Community Care clients who are living at home and have limited family and/or social contact by providing the client with companionship through regular activities.  We are assisted by volunteers who care about others.  Volunteers have a current police check.
