We provide a range of activities for people over 50 to keep them young at heart.
Our aim is to promote within the Pellon area of Halifax physical and mental well-being through social and community involvement and by providing related activities to learn new skills for people over 50 which will enable them to retain their independence, reduce loneliness and combat isolation. This also entails extending our group out into adjacent communities where possible to offer activities to tackle these issues.
Current activities are Tai Chi, singing for fun, art, gentle exercise.
Why the community needs usWith the over 50's age group increasing as a percentage of the population we aim to benefit the community by helping to keep people mobile and involved with sociable activities. This helps the family network by providing support for its older members which in turn indirectly can help to reduce the need for social care.
Our impact on the communityPeople attending our activities benefit by making new friends and retaining their independence. The emphasis is on fun and enjoyment
