We run a Drop in Centre for seniors at our Centre in Bondi.  These people meet here regularly to enjoy "the craic", play cards, rings, carpet bowls etc and share lunch.

One of our most sought after services is tracing missing family members.  People too, who have lost contact with their families come to us for assistance in trying to locate their families.  It gives us great joy when we successfully reunite family members who have not seen or met for many, many years.
