Social connection is of vital importance at any age and particularly so as we get older. There are plenty of options on offer including seniors clubs, Aboriginal and multicultural groups, luncheon clubs, and service clubs. View the list in the Seniors Directory
Volunteering
Council's volunteer programs are a great way to be in involved in your local community.
Council is also working with community organisations to support their essential services during COVID-19. View our list of community volunteer opportunities.
