Community Participation
Connect with your community. Discover new possibilities.
At Mapple Care, we believe that community participation is about more than just getting out and about—it’s about building confidence, making meaningful connections, and living a life that feels full and rewarding.
Our Community Participation supports are designed to help you explore hobbies, learn new skills, and become more engaged in your local community—on your terms and at your pace.
What does Community Participation include?
Our friendly support workers can assist you with:
- Joining local clubs, interest groups, or classes
- Visiting community centres, libraries, or events
- Attending recreational, sporting, or cultural activities

- Volunteering or exploring work experience opportunities
- Medication assistance (prompting or administration as per care plan)
