Creating Connections Beyond Caring

The Velveteens is a welcoming social outings group for people who are currently carers, or who have spent a significant part of their lives caring for a loved one. Whether you’ve cared for a partner, child, family member or friend, this group offers a chance to step away from caring responsibilities, connect with others who understand the journey, and enjoy some well-deserved time for yourself.

Meeting on the first Monday of each month, the Velveteens enjoy fun bus outings across Sydney and beyond, providing opportunities to socialise, make new friends, discover new places, and share experiences with people who have walked a similar path. With transport and planning taken care of, all you need to do is relax, enjoy the day, and embrace a little adventure.

It’s a wonderful way to stay connected, active and engaged while enjoying the company of a supportive and understanding community.
