EACH Social Activity Groups offer the opportunity for older people to continue to be active within the community.
Our Wynnum Social Activity Group Service supports older Australians to stay connected and active in their local community. We run planned programs of structured activities that also provide respite for families and carers.
Activities are based on people's interests as well as their needs. These may include celebrating community events, gentle physical exercises, music, guest speakers, art and crafts and general outings.
Our Wynnum centre is located at Unit 1, 212 Bay Terrace, Wynnum, QLD 4178
