Seniors get moving at NNC

Our centre was filled with movement and laughter for our ‘Welcome to Newtown Neighbourhood Centre Seniors Festival’. Held on 10th February, senior members of our local area were invited to join us for a delicious lunch, catered by the Botany View Hotel.

We were pleased to see some familiar faces, with members of our Greek, Portuguese and former Yugoslavian groups in attendance. Of the 50 people who took part in the Seniors Festival, we also welcomed plenty of new visitors, who were able to learn about the support and activities we provide for older residents.

In addition to celebrating our new premises, we were able to introduce our Strength and Movement program, a new service offering at NNC. Christy Simitzis, Personal Trainer at Fuel, gave attendees a taste of what the program has to offer − leading a group exercise activity.

Group exercise is a great way for community members of any age to keep fit and socialise. For seniors, the maintenance of muscle and strength is particularly key, improving mobility and reducing the risk of injury.
Thank you to Christy, the Botany View Hotel and our aged care team for their organisation and support, to Inner West Council for funding the event, and to everyone who came along.
