Mental health matters every day of the year 💚

As comes to a close, this year’s theme, “A Little Connection Goes a Long Way”, is a reminder that the power of connection extends far beyond October.

At Co.As.It., we recognise the important role that social connection and a sense of belonging play in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of older members of our community.

Through our Social Support Groups, we bring older people together to build friendships, strengthen connections and enjoy meaningful shared experiences.

Our recent Seniors’ Olympics was a wonderful example of this in action! From friendly competition and team games to plenty of laughter, the day was all about bringing people together and enjoying each other's company 🏅

Let’s look back on some of their favourite moments from the day 📸

A little taste of Sicily at Norton St Italian Festa! 🇮🇹🍋

On the beautifully sunny day of this year’s Festa, our Co.As.It. stand brought a refreshing taste of Italian tradition to the celebrations with De Luca 1937 ’s traditional granita demonstrations!

Led by Luigi, Virginia and Sal, the demonstrations offered visitors a chance to discover the story and art of making traditional granita, while immersing themselves in Italian language and culture through a fun and hands-on experience.

And the experience didn't end there! In collaboration with De Luca, we brought the story of Nonno Salvatore’s granita to life in a bilingual children's book, giving young visitors a little piece of the Festa to take home, complete with a recipe to enjoy with their families and pass on to the next generation 📖✨

Grazie to Luigi, Virginia and Sal for sharing this delicious tradition with our community! ❤️
