Join some of the activities on offer in the Social Connections and Activities program for over 65s in Merri-bek. You can enjoy community activities such as seated tai chi to calm your mind and reduce anxiety. This is held on Mondays at Newlands Senior Centre 49-53 Murray Road, Coburg. You can socialise with other older locals in the Cafe Connections program. Enjoy a nutritious meal and have a chat on Tuesday mornings at Café Stradina, 22 Eileen Street, Hadfield. For a fun day out, you can join excursions and a social meal to places of interest across Melbourne. Or there’s the Evergreen gardening group. Get your hands dirty and get happy by growing a variety of herbs, vegetables, and native flowers. This group meets on Wednesday mornings at Newlands Senior Centre. There is a Men’s Engagement group for men to socialise and take part in active games and renovations. This men’s group meets on Thursday mornings at Newlands Senior Centre. Or for a creative group try Fabulous Fun Times on Tuesday mornings also at the Newlands centre. It’s a weekly program to showcase your music and exercise talents.
