Fairfield City Council is committed to providing opportunities, support and resources

for seniors to participate in the community and to embrace healthy ageing.

The Fairfield Seniors’ Recreational Directory has been developed to provide seniors

with information about recreational groups and activities that are available across

Fairfield City’s 27 suburbs.

While every attempt has been made to ensure that the information in this directory is

current, it is realised that some groups/activities may have been missed or have not

heard of the directory. It is advisable to ring the organisation/group listed here to

confirm the time and date of activities that may have changed since the update of

this edition.

An effort will be made to update this directory regularly within available resources.

Please refer to the forms at the end of the directory if you are a community

organisation or group that would like your information included or updated in the

directory.

The 2018 Directory will also be available in soft copy, which can be found by

accessing our Fairfield City Council’s website, www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au.

A hard copy of the directory is also available on request, please contact

[email protected] or phone 9725 0222.

Fairfield City Council is committed to building a stronger community that

acknowledges the ongoing contribution of seniors in the Fairfield community.

The Fairfield Seniors’ Recreational Directory aims to connect seniors with

recreational groups and activities that increase social interaction, physical activity

and provide support and educational development.

The diverse groups and activities outlined in the directory aim to promote a healthy

ageing community that provides opportunities for seniors to improve their physical,

mental and social health.

The format of the 2018 Directory has been updated to divide the recreational

activities into three healthy ageing categories, which include:

The division into three healthy ageing categories aims to make it simpler for seniors

to find a group or activity that suits their wants and needs.

For more information regarding healthy ageing and service information, please refer

LIFELONG LEARNING SOCIAL HEALTH &

WELLBEING

Lifelong Learning

• Research has found that lifelong learning helps improve mental function and the ability to adapt to change.

• Creative recreational activities help improve skill development, self-expression and self-confidence.

• Learning skills with others can improve interpersonal skills and make you feel more connected to the community.

Health & Wellbeing

• According to the Department of Health, 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise is the recommended daily requirement to improve heart, lung, muscle and bone function.

• Exercising has multiple benefits, it can assist in reducing stress and anxiety, reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes and help prevents falls.

• Exercising also provides an increased sense of wellbeing by improving concentration and self-confidence.

Social

• Research has found socialising has many benefits in improving mental function and emotional health.

• Socialising can assist in reducing feelings of loneliness, which has been found to have a negative impact on emotional and physical health.

• Social groups provide the opportunity to develop interpersonal skills, social networks and build a stronger community.
