MannaCare assists older people in the Manningham community to sustain and reinforce their independence, social relationships, personal wellbeing and community interaction.

Volunteers provide a range of support for elderly people by enriching and extending the range of relationships, skills and experiences from the wider community. Volunteers can choose from a range of programs:

• Residential care leisure and lifestyle activities: including social support, piano playing, book reading, teaching computers, handcare, exercises, transportation, and going for walks.

• Grevillea House: working with staff and interacting with residents in the day program and in respite programs filled with fun and laughter.

• Rehabilitation: maintenance therapy and therapeutic activities for older residents (generally over 60 years). These activities aim to maintain residents' physical, mental and emotional health so they can lead fulfilling and independent lives.

• Other activities: hospitality, language assistance, gardening, Beauty Shop, and Happy Hour

The Centre is colourful and fresh, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Often the clients benefit from a walk in the fresh air and sunshine with a volunteer.
