Out & About

Social excursions that involve travelling via bus to various locations in SA to enjoy new experiences and meet new people.

Group-based excursions can reduce social isolation and improve quality of life. As such, our outings are designed to strengthen attendees' sense of community by facilitating high-quality shared experiences in a kind environment where people feel safe to share their stories and be themselves.

Each trip has a different ‘Level of Activity’ (minimal, moderate, maximum) which indicates the amount of physical activity/walking required. It is a requirement of the outing attendee to check the outing’s level of activity prior to booking and to determine if the Level of Activity is suitable to their mobility needs. Please note that outing attendees should be independently mobile to get on and off the bus, and those who require extra assistance need to bring an extra support person with them to the outing (the support person must also have a ticket to the outing). If an outing attendee needs clarification about an outing’s Level of Activity, they are encouraged to contact the Health Education & Social Coordinator.

You will receive a call from one of our lovely staff members a few days before the outing to confirm a few things such as meal pre-orders.
