The Surf Coast community can learn how to age with a healthy, wealthy and wise attitude during a positive ageing event in Anglesea next week.
The Healthy, Wealthy and Wise Coastal Road Show will host information, stalls and presentations at the Anglesea Memorial Hall on Wednesday 18 March to help people stay active, connected and informed.
Surf Coast Shire councillor Mike Bodsworth said the event would be a fun and social day out, featuring all-day grazing, show bags, raffles and giveaways.
“We know staying connected and informed plays a big role in living and ageing well,” he said.
“We want people to feel comfortable coming along, having a chat and picking up information that could really make a difference in their lives.
“This event is a great opportunity for community members to ask questions, have conversations and discover what support is available locally.”
The day’s program will include community groups and service introductions at 9.30am, Jules Haddock from The Anxious Bird at 10.15am, SCAM Man AI presentation at 11am, and a financial experts discussion panel from 12.30pm to 2pm.
There will also be information and stalls from many organisations, including Dementia Australia, Lifeline, Ambulance Victoria, Red Cross, Repair Café, and Anglesea Men’s Shed.
The event aims to support people of all ages to live a quality, engaged and meaningful life regardless of ability or life stage and forms part of Surf Coast Shire Council’s Positive Ageing Program.
The event is free, but bookings are essential, and people can visit surfcoast.vic.gov.au/PostiveAgeingEvents to register.
