💚 Have you heard of Be My Eyes? 💚

We came across this fantastic free app and thought it was worth sharing.

https://www.bemyeyes.com/

Be My Eyes is designed to help people who are blind or have low vision with everyday tasks that many of us probably take for granted.

Imagine wanting to check the use by date on something in your fridge, read a label on a bottle, check what colour a shirt is, or work out which button to press on your washing machine.

Be My Eyes offers a simple way to get a helping hand.

📱 Using the app, people can:
👀 Connect with a volunteer who can provide visual assistance over a video call.
🤖 Take a photo and use AI to get a description of what they’re looking at.
🏡 Get help with everyday things around the home.

There’s also an option to connect with trusted people for more ongoing assistance.

What we particularly like about this is the idea behind it. Technology isn’t always about doing more or making things complicated. Sometimes, it’s simply about making everyday life a little easier and helping people do more for themselves.

And if you have a few minutes to spare, you can even sign up as a volunteer and help someone on the other side of the world.

It’s a great reminder that small things can make a real difference.

We thought we’d share it in case it’s useful to someone in our community, whether for yourself, a family member, a friend or someone you support.

Have you used Be My Eyes before, or is this the first you’ve heard of it?

On Wednesday 14th October Innovative Community Care is hosting a Cuppa to support people living with dementia. ☕

Help us reach our fundraising goal so together we can ensure that no one faces dementia alone. Every dollar raised goes directly towards making a difference for the 446,500 Australians living with dementia, as well as the families and friends who support them every day.

Come along to our HUB at 167 Main Road, McLaren Vale SA 5171 anytime from 10:00am-3:00pm and be part of the day! Even if you are unable to make a donation, simply showing your support means the world to us.

Pop the kettle on. Let’s show up for dementia together. 💛💜🩵

🎉 Welcoming new participants and referrals 🎉

We have a few new openings on our support team across the Fleurieu and Adelaide. We don't often have availability, so we're excited to meet new people and show you what ICC is all about.

Our Hub is a safe space that's accessible for everyone. It's open 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, at 167 Main Road, McLaren Vale. Longer hours are coming this summer, and we'd love your help planning them. Swipe to the last slide and drop A, B or C in the comments.

On Fridays we run Kids Club for under-16s, with our support staff making it so much fun: painting, craft, pizza making, dance, Wii gaming and plenty of mess.

Referrals and enquiries are welcome.
Visit innovativecommunity.com.au or pop in and say hello.

A Companion Card can make some South Australian outings more affordable for eligible people who need significant attendant care to take part.

At participating venues and activities, the cardholder buys their own ticket and their companion receives free entry. Eligibility is specific, so it’s worth checking the official criteria rather than assuming the card is or isn’t for you.

This can open up more choice around local events, recreation and time in the community without turning support into the centre of the day.

Check the SA Companion Card criteria: https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/care-and-support/disability/companion-card/apply-for-a-companion-card
