UnitingCare Merimbula Community Visitors Scheme.
This is a government funded scheme which is coordinated by Greg Wollaston, with approximately 20-30 volunteers involved from the church and the community. The scheme is primarily designed to provide friendship and support to elderly members of the community who are currently living in aged care facilities. The scheme differentiates from other voluntary groups in that it provides one-on-one companionship between the volunteer and the resident. This enables both parties to experience the pleasure of growing friendship. The volunteers also meet periodically for training and social occasions in which they can share experiences with one another.
If you would like more information or to join this rewarding outreach program, please contact Greg via email at cvs.sapphire@hotmail.com

Mission - Outreach to other communities and countries has always been paramount to the Uniting Church in Australia.
The Sapphire Coast Uniting Church supports needy communities in the Pacific and beyond. We have a strong local focus on mission through ad hoc giving as needs arise, as well as an international sustainable development outlook.
Our major international outreach is a partnership with UnitingWorld and the Methodist Church in Fiji, focusing on supporting a settlement community on the outskirts of Suva to become more independent and to take ownership of their educational needs. We aim to give a 'hand up' rather than a 'hand out' and look forward to building strong connections through long term involvement.
In recent years, financial support has also been provided to: Compassion Australia, Pearls Place, Nepal Leprosy Trust, Save the Children Fund, Bombala Rotary, Kairos Prison Ministry, Nungalinya Aboriginal College, Share Syrian Refugee Appeal, Tulgeen Disability Group, Broken Hill Flying Patrol, Wall of Hands Aboriginal Literacy Program, Alayne Drowley Trust, Act for Peace appeal, St Georges Uniting Church Eden, St James House Project (Anglican Church), Community Carers Accommodation South East, World Vision, The Social Justice Advocates of the Sapphire Coast, Friends of Tionge (Zambia), Britton Dunning Family Appeal, Gideons International, Rohingya Appeal, Sapphire Community Pantry, Cyclone Gita (Tonga) Appeal, Tathra Bushfire Appeal, Dementia Support program at Pambula Hospital and Living is Giving.
