And that’s a wrap!
And that’s a wrap for the 10/10 Project in 2022!
This year, our 10th 10/10 Project was held a bit later than usual due to weather delays. It also looked a bit different as we adapted to COVID-19 guidelines. Despite all challenges, a fantastic team of 45 volunteers worked together to transform several yards and gardens in our community. The positive outcomes achieved are the hallmark of the 10/10 Project!
Significant differences were made at each of the properties we attended, and residents’ pride has been restored in their yards and gardens that they can safely access again. Seeing the volunteers’ hard work and the special interactions between them and the community, made us feel incredibly proud of this initiative.

Caring for an older loved one is rewarding and important, but everyone needs a break sometimes. Flexible respite, part of the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), gives carers help so they can rest, recharge, or get things done knowing their loved one is safe and supported by caring, friendly and capable help at home or in the community.
Our Intake Team is often the first point of contact for older community members engaging with CRCS, and they play a vital role in shaping positive, supportive experiences from the very beginning. The team helps participants understand and access the wide range of care, activities and services available through our CRCS Living Well programs.
