To mark WA Seniors Week 2024, the Shire of Gingin hosted it's Connecting Seniors Expo, an event designed to bring local seniors together with service providers and resources that cater to their needs. This event was proudly sponsored by COTA.
With 9 service providers showcasing their offerings, seniors had the opportunity to engage in sit-down sessions and presentations, gaining valuable knowledge on a wide range of services available to them. The expo provided an excellent platform for community members to connect with one another, share experiences, and discover new resources that could improve their well-being.
The fully booked community bus made its way from the coastal regions, and with community members from Gingin, 35 enthusiastic attendees all came together for a day of learning, connection, and fun.
This free and fully catered event ensured everyone was well-fed, and the afternoon entertainment included a lively game of bingo, followed by a raffle with great prizes, adding to the great atmosphere.
As always, a bit of light-hearted banter made for a fun and relaxed vibe, ensuring everyone left with a smile on their face.
When asked what attendees enjoyed most about the day, some of the responses included:
- “talking to service providers”
- “companionship”
- “a warm welcome from shire staff”
- “loved the focus on aging well”
- “more events like this please”
It was a wonderful day, and we hope to see even more seniors and families attending future events like this. Thanks to everyone who participated and to our service providers who made this event possible.
