Sam Herron presented to the Rotary Club of Maroubra on Monday, May 15.
Sam is the founder of Heart & Soul an organisation that brings communities together.
Her purpose is to bring school kids and age-care residents together which results in tremendous benefits for both groups.
Did you know that almost 50% of age-care residents feel some form of depression? This also correlates with the fact to only 50% of age-care residents get visitors.
On the flip side, one-third of young people experience a mental health episode. Putting the two groups together improves mental health which in turn improves community health.
Heart & Soul is working with several councils, aged care facilities and surrounding schools and seeks help from Rotary to provide connections and sustainable partnerships.
