Be socially engaged with your community through our social activity groups

Our social activity groups provide activities to help older people or people with disability to live a healthier, more rewarding and socially engaged life.

These groups provide a program of activities that maintain and enhance the daily living skills of all participants. The program of activities addresses a participant’s physical, social, cultural, emotional and recreational needs and provides opportunities to stay connected to the community.

There are many reasons to join one of our social activity groups:

  • Affordable recreational, leisure and social activities

  • Meeting people and making new friends

  • Staying connected to the community and social interaction

  • Maintaining skills needed for living independently

  • Keeping the body and mind active

  • Respite for carer/s

Our social activity groups are run from sites in Nillumbik, Whitehorse and Manningham, but you are welcome to join if you live outside these areas. 


We also organise regular outings. Please see the schedule for a summary of outing days, times and details on how to participate.
