Social groups are an informal way for people to interact socially and form meaningful connections and friendships. CNP organises many group social opportunities each month, held weekly, fortnightly or monthly, these include: Lunch outings; movie; art; singing and library groups. Many people have become isolated due to no longer driving, therefore it is essential to offer transport as part of our social engagement. Volunteers may be asked to pick people up and often journeys to the venues are an additional way for people to socialise and connect with others on our program whilst enjoying the opportunity to take in the natural surroundings. Volunteers are integral in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment.

The Driver and Host for Group Program volunteer role will involve driving your own car to transport people for an Art group fostering a friendly and inclusive environment to enable social connections between those in the group.
