Be Active
Research has now shown the effect of physical activity on how long we live.
Socially Connect
Also the importance of staying socially connected is to our overall well-being
The Vision
The Active Aging Hub is a community group where age is not a limitation, which offers the opportunity for challenging sporting activities, as well as the essential social interaction to develop new friendships and protect mental health.
The Values
1. Live Life to the Full
Life is not what has already happened, we are just at a different stage of life, with still more life to challenge us and to enjoy.
2. Be Active
Medical Science has determined that the more active you are in playing sports etc, the more likely you are to extend your life. Tennis players lived more than 9 years longer than people who were sedentary, topping the list of sports that add the most value.
3. Broaden the friendships base
Social Interactions are like vitamins and minerals for ageing brains, with ridiculously powerful implications. We are offering the opportunity for social connection at a time when our friends base is typically shrinking.
4. Care and be Helpful
No matter what our age or our position in life, we need friends who care. When things are not going as you wish or you are lonely, there is no better remedy than to have a friend to talk to. Be that friend.
Join one of our Activities
Toowong Tennis Old Dogs
At present, there are 8 sessions each week, which represents 68 spots to fill each week. Times are mostly from 4 pm to 6 pm with two early morning sessions from 7 am to 9 am. The sessions are played at the Toowong School Tennis Courts and the Rainworth School Tennis Courts.
Dancing with Confidence
Like many of us, when we were young, we used to love to dance, but as we got older, we had just gotten out of the habit of dancing, and worse still, we had lost our confidence to be on the dance floor. But dancing is so good for our health and well-being. So this is the opportunity to start enjoying dancing again.
