New Name Same Us

We have exciting news. We have changed our name from Seniors Come Share Society to Brella Community Services Society, and we have updated our look. “But, why?” you might ask. “We love Come Share the way it is.” First of all, we want you to know that we feel privileged to be part of this community for the last 45 years. We appreciate all the accolades, feedback and support you have afforded us over this time.

While we have been providing community-based services to older adults, people with dementia, and care partners, we recognize that our community has changed over the last four and half decades. It has changed in the way of diversity and in the way our participants, some of whom not identifying as seniors, are wanting to receive support.

Aging adults may need a little help, but more and more they like to be perceived as capable, vibrant, and valuable members of the community. They wish to distance themselves from labels that suggest otherwise. In their service providers, they seek a person-centred environment where they can access the services they choose, delivered in the way they like and when they want them.

Changing our name and our look was a decision that we made with careful consideration. We felt it needed to be done to better reflect our vision for safe, caring, and inclusive communities where aging adults can live engaged and meaningful lives within their own aspirations and abilities.

We are Brella. Our six colours represent our six values: integrity, respect, compassion, inclusiveness, collaboration, and excellence.

We hope that you like our new brand. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask a Brella team member.

Together, we can create a caring community!
