Older & Connected
JNC is a part of the Sydney Community Collaborative – a partnership between Inner Sydney Voice (ISV), Canterbury City Community Centre, Ethnic Community Services, Newtown Neighbourhood Centre, and The JNC – working together to address social isolation and loneliness among older people in Sydney.
The Collaborative has released ‘Older and Connected’ a report by Professor Michael Fine (Em Fine) and Dr Bob Davidson that examines the growing impacts of social isolation and loneliness on older people.
This report provides the findings of a study commissioned by the Sydney Community Collaborative, a group of five local community-based organisations in south-eastern and inner west Sydney.
The study originated from concerns by the five organisations about the increasing concerns about the impact of social isolation on older people and the lack of adequate programs and resources to enable them to fully assist.
The Older and Connected report outlines a practical framework for building local ecosystems of support, including outreach, social prescribing, group activities, and neighbourhood hubs. This milestone research will shape our work with older people in our communities in coming years.
50 Years of Local Connection
“The Single Parent Support Group was something I looked forward to each week. It made me aware of services I didn’t know existed. The facilitators and members made me not want to miss a single session. I felt safe and made the best connection with the group. I didn’t know I would have so much fun with it. It made me love myself more. Thank you JNC.”
‘Thank you for the day in, day out, supporting and caring for members with bus trips, exercise and more. It all adds up to pleasure to brighten elderly peoples days. We are indeed fortunate to have your services’
The Dads Tuning Into Kids course was very fulfilling and educational. I gained a lot of insight into how to be a better father and provide a positive emotional connection with my children. I learned about some of my mistakes and how I can improve. I would highly recommend this course for any Dad."
“The art show was great and thank you to everyone at the JNC for what you’ve done for me this year. I have a lot of respect for the work you do."
‘Many thanks for welcome me, the new girl, and taking me out and looking after me. I’m very grateful’
“You got the ball rolling and made it possible; your support is very much appreciated. I will never forget your kindness and support.”
