Live the Dream – Help Us Bring Joy to Our Residents
At Dale Cottages, we believe it’s never too late to dream, and it’s never too late to make a dreams. Live the Dream is a heartfelt initiative that gives our aged care residents the chance to share something they’ve always wanted to do, experience or receive, no matter how big or small. It also invites members of our community to help make those dreams come true.
Whether it’s riding in a Mustang, meeting a footy hero, enjoying a glass of wine on the beach, or simply having someone to play cards with, every dream is a beautiful opportunity to bring joy, connection and a sense of possibility to our dear residents, who have given so much in their lifetime.
Inspired by the Wishing Washing Line movement in the UK, this project connects our residents with everyday people who want to give back in a meaningful and personal way.
