Community outings

Community outings

Join us as we explore new places and enjoy fun activities together.

Our outings take us all over the city — from op-shopping scavenger hunts to scenic trips like visiting the Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains, to classic fish and chips by the ocean at Bondi Beach.

Open to all ages, these outings include transport and snacks, making it easy and accessible for everyone to join in. It’s a wonderful way to connect with friends, discover new spots and share ideas for future adventures. It’s free to join — just bring your own lunch or a little money to buy one.

Free and low-cost meals

We believe sharing a meal can bring people together, ease loneliness and foster a sense of belonging.
