Establishing new facilitated collectives to benefit the aging community in Manningham where members can discover self esteem, greater connection and life fulfilment.
The collectives enable interaction, communication and storytelling and create an inspiring and strong support system for members amongst other members, their families and community.
The safe environment will allow members to freely express themselves, contribute to others and experience increased well-being through belonging to the collective.
Key activities of this project will include facilitated and structured sessions, discussion, a training program, guest speaker participation, collaboration and enhanced relationships with partners, families and their community.

The key benefits of these exciting new collectives are:
*Promote connection, interaction and communication within the ageing community
*Encourage an environment filled with happiness, greater inclusion, compassion and respect for one another
*Are for all ages, religions, cultures and dementia friendly
*Overcome impacts of loneliness and isolation
*Increased levels of wellbeing, aliveness, recreating life's purpose and meaning
*Sharing knowledge, wisdom and dignity in the spirit of new “mateships”
*Up-skilled community leaders, facilitators and increased awareness of ageing in our community
*Deepens relationships with families, friends and the community
*Scalable model that could be expanded to benefit all ageing Australians
