Our Golden Oldies enjoy custom Seniors Week find-a-word at event at South Penrith

NSW Seniors Festival ran from 11th to 24th March 2024 and this year’s theme was ‘Reach Beyond.” The theme encourages seniors to seek out new experiences and make new friends by participating in activities during the festival. The week celebrates the role and contributions of older adults to the local community.

During Seniors week, we were unfortunately unsuccessful in obtaining a grant however we decided to still run a small event as we did not want our seniors to miss out. The event was held last Thursday at our South Penrith Neighbourhood Centre with our Golden Oldies Seniors group. We organised delicious catering for morning tea, we had lucky seat prizes to win and our wonderful Jerry made up a Find-a-Word puzzle with all words relevant to seniors.

Our attendees absolutely loved doing the customized find-a-word and some even took them home with them.

On the day, there was lots of smiling faces and laughs had by all. It was a successful morning here at South Penrith Neighbourhood Centre, ran by our amazing finance office, Lisa and our Admin & Community Worker, Jerry who is a favourite among our Golden Oldies group.
