Positive Ageing Seminars

A Getting On with Getting Older seminar in progress at St Georges Church in Takapuna

As part of our commitment to working closely with the church, we provide a seminar called Getting On with Getting Older that can be booked throughout the year by Presbyterian and cooperating parishes. The seminar can be facilitated at the venue and date of your choice. The cost is $10 per delegat.

Getting On with Getting Older has been developed in conjunction with Age Concern and is a positive approach to how we can make the most out of life as we get older. As well as being light-hearted, the seminar is also packed with practical suggestions for keeping healthy and happy in the years to come.

Discussions during the seminar around the material covered are welcomed, so that everyone can benefit by sharing thoughts and ideas. The seminar is targeted towards older people although anyone can attend and would be made most welcome.
