NSW Seniors Festival
NSW Seniors Festival is an annual celebration where government, community and commercial organisations hold hundreds of events across the state, encompassing art, sport, music, entertainment, technology, recreation, health, good nutrition and much more!
Federation Council hosted The Time of Your Life Seniors Expo on Sunday 16 March, an event designed to empower residents aging in the Federation Council community with valuable information, support, and resources. Residents were able to visit the many stalls and find out about the services and programs available from Government, aged service, health and wellbeing, legal and advocacy providers, along with community, social, and fitness groups.
The one-day program included guest speakers, interactive stallholders, demonstrations, and health screenings.
The Ageing Well Advisory Committee played a crucial role in shaping the direction of the Seniors Expo and provided invaluable support on the day. Federation Council and the Federation Events Team extend their sincere gratitude to the committee members for their ongoing dedication and hard work in this important area.
