A Drive for a Cause

“Ons is ‘n lieflike aftree oord en versorging sentrum vir bejaardes. Ons pragtige sentrum is geleë in die hartjie van die Tuinroete in George.”

Tuiniqua Care Centre has been caring for the elderly members of George community for over 35 years. We are a registered Non-Profit Organization that cares for the working class older persons of George…..the people responsible for making this great town what it is today!

At Tuiniqua Care Centre, we have a passion for creating a safe, loving and community-driven home for the elderly in the area with over 200 residents ranging from independent living to our frail care unit, and all the transitional aspects in between.

Covid-19 has knocked us hard financially; our reserves are completely depleted as a result of regulatory compliance as well as an inability to continue with our usual annual fundraising events such as our annual Bazaar.

Resident safety, of course, has been our top priority up until this point and now that our protocols are all correctly in place, we once again are looking at new and socially distanced fundraising endeavours.

We are currently doing a donation drive (see flyer below) to raise cash donations as well as an Auction that will be held at the end of October by Van Rensburg’s Auction House (a kind donation of services on their part). We are accepting any and all items to be used in this auction….anything at all! It can be your second-hand items from a spring clean, donation of services, gift vouchers, hampers…..literally anything at all! It will be used!

We are reaching out to the George community to help us and our residents through this difficult time, so we are able to retain Tuiniqua’s personal stamp of excellence that our residents deserve going forward.
