People & communities Events, things to do and local contacts

Age-friendly networks in your neighbourhood

Our age-friendly networks bring together local organisations and groups aimed at older people.  The networks organise events and are a great way to socialise and have your say about what's happening in the city.  The groups are managed by one of our partner organisations, Buzz Health & Wellbeing Service.

Find your local contact for information on groups in your area
