Psychosocial Support
Menora employs a full time Social Worker and a part time Community Worker who assist clients with applications for housing, NDIS support and help them to access the many other support systems available. They also off Psychosocial and Community support as needed, as well assisting with Budget planning and connecting clients with Financial support when appropriate.

Social connection
The Menora warehouse is the hub of our organisation and a place for volunteers to connect and give back to the community. Many of Menora’s clients also enjoy being part of the volunteering cohort and enjoy being able to connect to community and find great purpose in giving back. Many clients who volunteer in the warehouse have communicated that this gives them a sense of dignity and community that cannot be underestimated. We also hold a monthly coffee club with guest speakers, providing a morning tea and a place to meet and make friends, which is open to the whole community and is enthusiastically attended across the board.

Working with Menora has given me an incredible sense of purpose, belonging and fulfilment. I’ve got out so much more than I could ever give. It’s truly a very special organisation and vital for our community
