Thank you ABC Wide Bay and ABC Sunshine Coast for shining a spotlight on the difficulties of ageing in place for rural communities, including in Kilkivan. Through the establishment of a senior’s social hub, provision of transport, and assistance with support at home services, the volunteers of the Kilkivan & District Community Care Association Inc (KDCC) are helping older residents to age in place. Their biggest challenge – the funding to build essential accommodation – still lies ahead.

Heartfelt thanks to the team at Watch Smoke Alarms for jumping on board to support our recent gathering in Kilkivan with a generous gift of three smoke alarms!

It really takes a village to keep our rural communities strong. In small towns like Kilkivan, looking after our older neighbors is a group effort. Whether that’s the tireless work of Ms. Rosie Fitzgerald and the local volunteers at KDCCAI creating community hubs, or generous local businesses stepping up to keep homes safe.

When local businesses and community groups look out for one another, our seniors can stay safe, connected, and right where they belong - at home in the community they helped build.

Thank you, Watch Smoke Alarms, for being such a caring part of our community network!
