Outside the Box supports people to make their communities work better

Food Buddies

This project develops peer support for people with dementia and for carers, with a focus on aspects of food and keeping well.

Permission to Dream

People with poor mental health can sometimes find it hard to think about a positive future. During the Spring of 2016, over 60 people came together and shared their dreams.

Raising awareness of Older People’s Mental Health and Wellbeing

People are more likely to experience mental health problems as they get older. But older people are less likely to have access to community supports or to services that help them manage their mental health or provide treatment when that is needed. Over the past few years we have been having conversations with people about how to raise awareness about older people’s mental health and wellbeing, and about what will make this better.

We’re Here Too 2016!

We’re Here Too brings together people who want to see more opportunities for all older people to be able to participate in the issues that interest them.
