A variety of Social Activity programs are provided six days a week from our centres in Canterbury and North Balwyn. Our aim is to enhance an individual’s health, well-being, friendships and connection within their community.
Our Social Activity programs aim to enhance individuals’ health and well-being, strengthen friendship networks and reduce isolation and loneliness.
We run the programs with funds provided by the Commonwealth Department of Health and the City of Boroondara to provide a range of social activities for older people living in and around most of the City of Boroondara and surrounding suburbs.
Various activities are run 6 days a week and transport is provided to a range of these, enabling local residents to attend the centres in Canterbury and Marwal in North Balwyn.

Exercise is essential for health and wellness and we are committed to giving older people in our community the tools to remain independent and active.
