GET INVOLVED
THRIVE TOGETHER
Four ways to be part of this
We are a new organisation. That means we need the kind of support that arrives before the track record does, and it means the people who come in now will shape what this becomes.
01
Partner
For businesses, trusts, foundations and community organisations. Corporate partnerships, employee volunteering, sponsorship of a specific program, or joint delivery where our reach and yours complement each other.
02
Give
A one-off gift or a regular monthly contribution goes directly into program delivery. As a company limited by guarantee we distribute no profits, so every dollar is reinvested in our charitable work.
03
Volunteer
Volunteers are central to ElderConnect befriending, community events and program delivery. We also welcome pro bono professional support from lawyers, accountants, IT specialists and translators.
04
Refer someone
If you work in health, housing, education, legal or community services and you have someone who needs what we do, contact us. If we are not the right fit we will help you find who is.
