As we get older, staying socially connected becomes even more important for wellbeing. Friendships, shared activities, and a sense of belonging help seniors stay engaged, supported, and part of a welcoming community. At Fair Foundations, we understand the value of these connections and are committed to providing multicultural support through our free seniors groups. These programs offer a safe and inclusive space where seniors can build friendships, learn new skills, and feel supported in a vibrant community.
Community groups: A place to connect and grow
We offer a variety of free community groups and classes, including:
Sewing and crafts: Tuesdays, 12:00 – 2:00pm. A relaxing space to be creative while socialising.
Vietnamese men’s group: Wednesdays, 2:00 – 4:00pm. A culturally specific group for friendship and shared experiences.
Arabic women’s seniors group: Thursdays, 10:00am – 12:00pm. A supportive environment for women to connect.

A safe and supportive space for seniors
Our Community Hub, open Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, also serves as a vital resource for seniors seeking support and guidance. We offer a range of free services that help seniors maintain independence and navigate essential systems, including:

Improving wellbeing: Enhancing mental and emotional health through active engagement.
Cultural connection: Providing spaces that respect and celebrate diverse backgrounds.
“Because I live by myself, I feel lonely in my house. This group is a good chance for me to socialise with other people, make friends, and get involved with the community.” – Rosie
