Ask About This Support
Support that starts with you.
Community looks different for everyone. You might want to visit a favourite place, try an activity or feel more comfortable meeting people. Your interests guide the conversation.
Being part of your community starts with the places, people and interests you enjoy. That might be a local club, a familiar café, a cultural event or a new class you would like to try.
Talk about the activities that appeal to you and what would make participation more comfortable. Access, travel, communication and the pace of an outing can all be considered when discussing the right assistance.
