Happy birthday to our Kookaburra Social Support Group!
For more than 12 years, this much-loved program has been helping older adults connect, build friendships and have fun together from Campbelltown, NSW.
It's a space filled with laughter, which is exactly how it got its name. Long-time participant, Thelma, suggested calling it the Kookaburra Social Support Group because everyone laughed so much, just like kookaburras.
The group supports participants to achieve goals across three key areas: physical, cognitive and social wellbeing. Through activities like dancing (give it up for their chicken dance 👏), memory games, reminiscing and more, they stay active and keep their minds engaged.
At the 12th anniversary celebration, participants shared just how important this support has been in their lives. It’s provided lasting friendships, a sense of purpose and something to look forward to each week.
