The new Neighbourhood Central Healthy Lifestyle and Wellness Program for older people is just about to commence.

The 20-week program will offer a variety of relaxing and fun modified activities to increase health and wellbeing and will accommodate all levels of ability.

There will be activities in Parkes and Forbes, with some selected sessions in Peak Hill and Condobolin. Transport will be offered to selected events for people in areas such as Trundle and Tullamore.

Sessions will include hydrotherapy, Tai Chi, yoga in a chair, older adults fitness group, and music and singing groups. There will also be information workshops to help increase health awareness and promote falls strategies to prevent or delay further entry into the aged care system, make you feel good and keep you living in your home for longer.

It’s time to register! If you are over 65, or 50 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, call Louise 0409 372 742 or Rachel 0456 800 328, or drop in or call our Parkes office on 6862 3757.

A $20 registration fee applies to cover activity costs – that’s only $1 per week! There are limited numbers for each session, so call now to join in the fun.

Registrations are also open at Neighbourhood Central for the Seniors Festival program from 10 – 14 February – $5 for all events.
