Farmhouse Plans: Tax Deductible Donations

Tax Deductible Donations

They engage, inspire and give voice. Stories give value and help us belong.

Whilst our ageing population grows, admission to a nursing home can be experienced as a time of great loss, loneliness, isolation, grief and depression.

While many residents struggle to adapt to the physical changes in ageing, illness and end of life, they have something uniquely valuable to contribute - their own unique life stories. Many in our community are deeply interested in hearing and celebrating these stories.

The Biography Program is a not-for-profit initiative helping residents in aged care nursing homes to write and publish their life stories.

We do this by recruiting, training and supporting volunteer biographers - members of the community who share a passion and interest for life stories and people.

The Biography Program enables the life stories of older persons to be known, affirmed, valued and celebrated.

We are running our pilot project in 2013 and need funds:

To provide professional support and supervision to volunteer biographers
For printing and binding of personal life stories

There are many ways you can be involved in The Biography Program and we would welcome partnership with you around sharing your resources, skills, knowledge, contacts, influence or your voice.
