I strongly believe Seniors who are socially engaged benefit from a bigger sense of belonging and higher self-esteem levels. When seniors connect with those who are passionate about the same things they are, it forms lasting bonds and confidence. The feeling of connectedness to others and to a community or neighbourhood contributes to wellbeing as well as a feeling of independence.

Some activities on offer will include: Art therapy, music reminisce, armchair travel, bingo, quiz and crossword, sing songs, baking, gardening, book club, wood work, beauty and grooming sessions, aromatherapy , reiki , aerobics classes, indoor golf and many more games. Alongside this we will also offer excursions to many local attractions.
