A new group for Melton’s senior residents is hoping to spread the message that “life is better together”.
Life Activities Club Victoria launched an over-50s games club at Kurunjang Community Hub last month, with the support of Melton council.
The group provides seniors with the opportunity to meet at the Mowbray Crescent community centre on Sundays from 2-4pm to socialise and build new friendships.
The group has been running for about five weeks and has attracted a strong following.
Life Activities Club Victoria business co-ordinator Deb Fitrolakis said the organisation had conducted community consultation and Melton and found there was interest in social club for over-50s.
“Quite a lot of people said they would be interested in a program like this which helps to alleviate social isolation and loneliness,” she said.
“We love running groups and bringing people together.
“Hopefully this is the beginning of a beautiful group in Melton.”
