KCH Carers Club

Kyneton Community House is a Carer Friendly Neighbourhood House that has been running carer specific programs over the last six months.

These include free social groups, free meals programs and free carer first aid. We are also about to take over the Walks for Carers peer support group from the local council for future longevity of the program. We offer carers referral to services and general peer to peer collegiate activities as well respite opportunities.

Frequently asked questions

What activities does the group undertake throughout the year?

Carers are canvassed and their interests are the priority when setting any offered activities. Some high uptake has been in art opportunities and garden club. We also have free meals going out to carers every week and carers can access other programs at heavily subsidised rates or free of charge (such as woodworking\/feldenkrais\/social craft). Walks for Carers is also moving to KCH and will be under the Carer Club program, this will include a free monthly walk, speaker and morning tea.
