Dir Social Services – Thames Online

Social Services

The Thames club was chartered in 2018, which makes us a youngster
in this organisation which was established in 1924.
While the format is formal, we are a friendly group whose purpose is to empower individuals
to become more effective communicators and leaders.
We achieve this with lots of support, encouragement and fun.
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month,
and we welcome visitors.
Meetings are at St James Centre Pahau Street Thames from 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Sovereign Companion Driving

Sovereign Companion Driving is a companion driving service to assist people with their mobility and transport needs in the Thames area.
I provide assistance with transport to and from appointments, shopping and general outings or out for coffee.
Cost is $25.00 per hour.
A mileage fee applies for travel out of town.
I have been able to operate through all of the Covid levels as this service is classed as an essential service.
I have had over 8 years experience in community healthcare so am familiar with mobility aids for the elderly etc.
I have also been Police vetted, and the vehicle is certified safe for transporting the public.
You can call or text me and ask for more information.

Pick it up! now

Pick it up! now is about influencing a culture change
to get people to pick up rubbish rather than walk past it.
It is about inspiring ways of reducing waste by making better
and more informed choices when we consume , and by promoting re-using what can be re-used and refusing what can't be.
