Through the GetActiveABC website, seniors can easily access details on local events, exercise classes, and wellness seminars tailored for their needs. This integration of community resources not only highlights the support available but also reinforces the idea that ageing can be a vibrant and fulfilling journey.

Participation in these events has shown tremendous benefits, with seniors reporting improved mental health, increased physical fitness, and enhanced social connections. While some might view ageing as a downhill slope, ABC puts a bright spin on it, proving that life post-retirement can be filled with adventure and community spirit. Each event in the Positive Ageing Month is an opportunity to foster connections, share experiences, and enjoy life to the fullest.

As we celebrate this month, remember that staying active and involved plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally. So grab your friends or make new ones, join in the fun, and remember – age is just a number!
