Activities for seniors

These classes involve a range of upper and lower body strength, core and flexibility exercises for older adults. They're functional and relevant exercises related to daily activities and falls prevention. The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly, fun and social.

If you're a carer you may be eligible for respite care - where someone else looks after the person you care for so you can take a break. This may range from a few hours to longer and may be at your own home or at a centre. Contact My Aged Care to see if you are eligible for subsidised services. If you are eligible an assessor will help you find services to suit your needs.

We promise a warm welcome for guests and visiting Rotarians. We are an active and lively volunteering group in Boroondara who come from all walks of life. We run a monthly Farmers' Market and endeavour to have a lively and interesting number of speakers at our club.

Hawthorn Rotarians use their talents to make a positive difference in local and global communities. We meet weekly for lunch to enjoy the fellowship of a like-minded but diverse group of people; appreciate stimulating speakers; grow life-long friendships; build networks and develop leadership skills.

Bring your skills or come and learn from this group of enthusiastic, talented knitters. Patterns and wool supplied for our fundraising projects. Items are sold at the Community Centre and local Art & Craft Markets.

If you enjoy playing with words, join this group for a friendly and light-hearted game.

Enjoy the challenge of words playing scrabble. This friendly group welcomes new players – experienced or beginners. First, third and fifth Tuesdays of the month from 1 to 4 pm.

Join us on Tuesday and Friday mornings between 9:30 am to 11 am at the Seniors Exercise Park in Victoria Park, Kew. These sessions are run by a group of 10 volunteers from the community who have undertaken training with the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI). This friendly, enthusiastic team is equipped to run our Come and Try sessions at the park, and demonstrate how you can use the equipment safely and effectively. If you’re interested in ways to improve balance, strength, or mobility, or you want to try a new activity this year, come along to our next Come and Try session.
