At Seville Community House, we deeply appreciate the unwavering dedication of carers within our community —those who provide unpaid support to loved ones with health conditions, disabilities, or age-related challenges. Carers are the backbone of our community, offering care and compassion that profoundly impact those they assist. Yet, carers often face emotional and physical demands and deserve the same level of care and support they provide to others.
To address this, Seville Community House launched the Carers Program designed to deliver practical assistance, emotional support, and a sense of belonging. The program began with a successful Carers Day in July, made possible through generous grants from the Yarra Ranges Council and the Community Bank Wandin-Seville. Local businesses also contributed to pamper packs, adding to the event’s success. Carers enjoyed wellness activities, relaxation, and informative sessions on support services, giving them a well-deserved break. The positive feedback underscored the importance of creating dedicated spaces for carers to unwind and connect.
But our commitment to supporting carers extends well beyond a single event. We are dedicated to providing ongoing assistance through quarterly meetings, a direct response to the requests from carers themselves. These regular gatherings will include a variety of activities such as informative sessions on the latest support services, inspirational talks from guest speakers, engaging crafts, self-care workshops, and community outings. Each session is thoughtfully designed to offer carers a safe and welcoming environment where they can share their experiences, exchange advice, and build meaningful connections with their peers. By fostering this supportive network, we help carers manage their responsibilities more effectively while also prioritising their own well-being.
At Seville Community House, our vision is clear: no one in our community should ever feel isolated or unsupported. By focusing on the needs of carers, we are not only enhancing their lives but also strengthening the entire fabric of our community. Supportive carers contribute to a healthier, more resilient society.
We warmly invite all carers to join our program and become part of our supportive community.

Our dedicated team is here to assist you every step of the way, ensuring that you receive the care and support you deserve.
