Each trip takes roughly 5 hours, with stops for morning tea and lunch. See our Newsletter for the bus outing calendar.

If a bus trip is not always your thing JNC also offers shorter and smaller group outings for two or three people plus a support worker These outings are in a car and usually include lunch or morning tea and visits to places of interest.

Individual Support
SOCIAL SUPPORT
JNC provides individual social support to older people. We match you with a Social Support Worker or volunteer who can assist you to get out into the community for shopping, errands, or simply go for a coffee, or a walk or a drive to a local beauty spot.
FRIENDLY PHONE CALLS
For those feeling lonely or isolated or are house bound, our Friendly Phone Call service will enable you to have a regular chat with one of our volunteers. Our Friendly Phone Calls are available in a variety of languages, so let us know your preference and we will do what we can to make it work.
HOME VISITING
JNC can organise one of our friendly volunteers to visit you at home if you are housebound or would like some extra social connection. Our wonderful volunteers can spend time with you having a chat, spending time outside in your garden playing cards or board games or assisting you with your mail. They can also assist you in using your digital devices.
