Staying socially active and connected within your community can do wonders for your wellbeing! It provides a sense of purpose and helps to keep feelings of depression, loneliness and anxiety at bay. We understand that getting to social activities can sometimes be a hurdle, especially as we get older. That’s where our fabulous volunteer team at Doncare comes in! They’re always ready to give you a lift and offer support during your activities. So, you can enjoy your outing from the moment you step out of your home until you’re comfortably back again. You’ll have plenty of time to relax, chat, and truly savor your social time.
