Activities for over 55s

Launching as part of Neighbourhood House Week, we will be having a weekly social meet-up session, 10am Wednesdays in our lounge area. It is a great chance to get to know other locals in the area, make new friends and build our community.

All welcome, including well-trained furry friends!

Tea and coffee provided.

We currently provide 2 services via the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). A shopping bus to local shopping centres (Forest Hills Chase, Burwood One and Waverley Gardens) on a Monday morning on a weekly rotating basis. Social activities on a Wednesday morning, which may include a meal at a local cafe, an in-house movie, gentle exercises or games activities at Alamein Neighbourhood and Learning. In both cases, eligible participants are picked up by our bus at your door from 10 am onwards and returned home by about 1:30 pm. There is a small charge, currently $5, for using this service. To participate, you must be over 65 years of age, registered with My Aged Care, a Boroondara resident, and be able to independently board our bus.

Join our weekly lunches and connect with new and old friends in our welcoming community where you can forge long-lasting bonds and enjoy a sense of belonging. Our delicious 3-course lunches are a tradition dating back to the centre’s beginnings in 1958 and are followed by a concert and afternoon tea. Runs on Wednesdays from 12 pm (noon) to 3 pm. Cost: from $19 per person, contact our centre for details. Door-to-door transport available upon request.

Croquet and gateball are games are played by all genders and ages, using mallets to hit balls through hoops on a grass court. Skills and strategies develop over time, and the club offers four codes to suit social and competitive play. Games are available every day of the week. Try it out with three free training sessions. We supply all equipment and training needed. Flat soled shoes required. After your 3 free sessions, there is a membership fee of $150 per year (our year begins in July - if you join later you will be charged pro rata) and a greens fee of $4 for each day of play.

A whole body gentle conditioning workout to improve overall strength, particularly the core muscles. This is a water based class that is suitable for all levels. Due to the in-water nature of the class, this class reduces bodyweight and allows participants to complete movements in water that they wouldn’t necessarily be able to do on land.

A challenging cardiovascular class with interval / sprint training using flotation belts. We use the water as resistance to tone, strengthen and burn kilojoules. This is a great way to deal with and prevent injury whilst maintaining fitness levels. Suitable for all levels. Runs on all days except Sundays, see our website for the class time for each day.

Tennis club with coaching, competition and casual play.
