Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of education','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

Our efforts continue to gain traction and increase outreach and impact. We continue to learn. Based on articulated needs and interests, we trialled new activity elements and approaches proposed and led by people in their later years. Our approach advances and supports older people, fostering relationships, increasing social connections and community building, with their mental, physical, and spiritual health and wellbeing a priority. Our second full year of operation has achieved a basket of well used activities which continued 6 established and popular groups, one (digital inclusion) being run across 5 locations during the year. We introduced 2 new groups, all bringing increased numbers of participants, volunteers and critically an ownership of the ideas and principles of self-motivated ageing in communities of interest and in neighbourhoods. Two other craft activities are being morphed into a participant led group in Year 3.
