The funding will be used to construct a simple indoor/outdoor recreational space for seniors to gather. The hub group attached to Warramunda is derived from residents of our independent living units. The group presently gather in a small outdoor rotunda, and with 30-40 persons attending recent functions the group has out grown this space. The space is also not weather friendly with bad weather limiting the activities of the group.
Once constructed the group will be able to host bigger functions and will extend its gathering to Warramundas Home Care clientele and other community seniors to foster connection and inclusion.
The immediate district of Kyabram has 490 persons over 65 living alone. We are also one of the most disadvantaged communities (SEIFA index) and have a higher proportion of persons over 70 compared to other benchmark populations. (Census 2016).
The newly constructed shelter will provide a much needed gathering space for social events to bring people together which will foster community engagement and inclusion and decrease loneliness amongst our elders.

We need to take better care of those who literally "built this great nation of ours," Warramunda is a leader in this field within our district and a community hub such as this proposal will certainly go a long way in extending the care so desperately needed to bridge the gap of isolation of the elderly in our community.
