Wonderful things are possible when people work together, and Dorset House has had a great season of working with community members and other organisations to deliver some exciting events to the community. May was a busy month for us. We started the month with a Playgroup Party to celebrate Neighbourhood House week and had over 50 people attend (including both children and carers). We were very excited to partner with Ruth Stockton, our local Family Engagement Worker and with Building Blocks for this great activity. During May, we also celebrated Simultaneous Storytime when our playgroup enjoyed the wonderful children’s book ‘Bowerbird Blues’, selected to be read around the state.
For Volunteer Week and Law Week, we partnered with the Launceston Community Legal Centre to provide an information session in Scottsdale about legal options in a variety of situations. This complemented the Estate Planning Sessions in Gladstone on the 8th of May through a partnership between Dorset House and Tasmanian Legal Aid. In these sessions, Legal Aid discussed power of attorney, enduring guardianship, advance care directives, wills, elder abuse and safety planning. Dorset House finished up the month of May by partnering with Women’s Health Tasmania to host a workshop supporting women to understand and care for their health at every age. |
