Support at Home is designed to help older people live independently at home for as long as they can by offering a range of wrap-around supports.

For 50 years, multiple generations of the Gibson family have lived at UnitingSA’s Westminster Village at Grange.

UnitingSA runs four groups in the Riverland region that provide social support for people over 65: a group for people of Turkish heritage, one for Italians, another for Greeks, and the aptly-named “Spice Girls.”

Unfortunate circumstances and some poor life choices caused Kayla to lose access to her children. Fortunately, Kayla was encouraged to connect with UnitingSA where she met Aboriginal Programs and Family Counselling Coordinator, Tashara.

When Cass reached out to Parent Pathways for support, she never dreamed she’d soon be part of the team.

Zoe heard about the Taperoo Community Centre through Facebook and decided to connect with some of the centre’s programs. Fast forward ten years, and Zoe is now giving back.
“I would still be on the streets if it wasn’t for the support of UnitingSA. It means the world to me to have a house for my whole family and to be able to tuck my children in at night.”
William,
