Did you know that loneliness and social isolation are among the biggest health challenges facing older Australians?

Research shows that a lack of social connection can be as harmful to health as smoking up to 15 ci******es a day, affecting both mental and physical wellbeing.

For many older people, especially those from multicultural backgrounds, isolation can be even greater due to language barriers, distance from loved ones, or the loss of familiar community.

Through the Support at Home program, eligible older people can access social support services such as regular visits, outings and group activities to help them stay connected with their community.

If you or someone you care for is eligible for Support at Home funding and would like culturally responsive support, we'd love to help.

I know there have been a few of these over time but just in case.

Just in case…Everyone, stay safe. Big day tomorrow. It’s official. Signed at 6:00am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow marks the start of the new Facebook rule (also known as Meta), which allows them to use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!

According to the show 60 Minutes:

Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law. NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy. Then go to your page, create a new post, and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear, and click paste.

I want to thank, on behalf of the Uniting Church in Narooma, all those who responded to the appeal for volunteers to enable the DinC (op shop) to reopen on Wednesdays starting this week.
I would have loved to post their photos here but haven’t seen any yet. Huge thanks to you all. Di

Last Sunday we said farewell to Margaret Polapen who has attended our church during her time working at Estia (roster permitting). Pictured with members of our church family after coffee. We will miss Margaret’s beaming smile and pray for a safe journey home to New Guinea.

Interesting and insightful. The Quota Club Narooma is hosting a dementia information session at Club Narooma on the morning of 4th July, 2026 at Club Narooma. Bookings essential. Contact Catherine Ward for more information.

Too many Australians still see dementia as an inevitability, according to new data, but there is a list of steps you can take to reduce the risks.

Unfortunately our Drop in Centre (op shop in the Midtown Arcade) is critically short of volunteers and has had to close of a Wednesday until such time as volunteer numbers increase.
So, if you have time to volunteer (or know someone else who does) please drop in to the Drop in Centre and collect a Volunteer Form.
The Drop in Centre supports many local groups and charities.
