At Dale Cottages, we believe it’s never too late to dream, and it’s never too late to make a
wish. Make a Wish 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 wishes 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 wish 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.
Here are just some of the thoughtful, heartfelt wishes shared by our residents. If one speaks to you, we’d love if you could help us make it happen.

Many other residents have simple wishes too, like a shopping day, a walk in the fresh air, a
family day out, or a visit with grandchildren.
If one of these wishes touches your heart, and you have the means to make it come true,
we’d love to hear from you.
Simply complete the form below and let us know how you can help, whether by donating
funds, offering your time or services, or connecting us with someone who can help.
Together, we can show our seniors they are seen, valued, and remembered, and that joy has no age limit.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis
