The afford lifestyle

Core Supports - Social & Community Supports CARER SUPPORT Being a carer takes more than time, it takes energy, focus, emotional strength and empathy among so much more. Afford recognises and celebrates the incredible role that carers play in the lives of our clients and community, and we say a thank-you of our own through the Afford Carer Support Program. Afford Carer Support offers a broad range of opportunities to meet other carers in a relaxed, safe and fun environment. These groups have given our families and carers a chance to share stories, ask questions and trade ideas. The Afford Carer Support Program offers carers the chance to take some time out for themselves and enjoy some things they not get time for ordinarily, such as:
