Elders share their stories in their own words.

We're more than a group — we're a family. Even when funds are short, we stay resilient because this work matters… Wolkara has pulled many Elders out of dark places — less loneliness, less depression, more reasons to get up and come along. — Aunty Vicki
Being a Wolkara Elder, I love it, it's beautiful. We are a happy group. — Uncle Elvis
When Stella [my mum] got involved with Wolkara Elders Group, she got reactive with the community… it impacted her life in a big way. They formed their own family more or less, like they were all brothers and sisters — as I'd call them, my aunties and uncles. — Essie-Joi
