The Wednesday Activity Group (WAG) is a social support group that has been in operation for over 30 years, between the hours 10am and 1pm each Wednesday from St Stevens Church in Ringwood East. WAG is an informal group for people aged 35 years and above who require a low level of support whilst participating in the group.

The activity boasts a significantly strong volunteer base, some clients and volunteers have been involved with WAG from inception of the program. The volunteers are the back bone of this program, providing continual support in areas of assistance with transport if required and kitchen tasks that involve preparation of a midday meal.

WAG‘s main focus is to promote social interaction and the development of friendships and an opportunity to develop or continue their pursuit of interests or hobbies. Individual volunteers commit their time to take the lead and facilitate the various activity tables. These tables range from water colour painting, crafts; decorative folk art painting; leather work, cards and board games, and wood work.

The success of WAG is contributed to an informal approach, linking the socialisation and support needs of isolated members of the community with associated health programs that support the health of our aging population.
