Welcome to the latest edition of the Positive Living & Ageing Well newsletter, part of Council’s ongoing commitment to support our older residents and promote positive ageing in Greater Shepparton.
This newsletter is just one of the many actions being delivered as part of the Greater Shepparton Positive Ageing Strategy 2023–2027. Through this Strategy, Council continues to strengthen connections with our senior community, celebrate their contributions and ensure access to the information, services and opportunities needed to age well.
I am always inspired by the stories that come through this publication – and in this edition, you will read about Mary’s incredible journey to Everest Base Camp at the age of 72. It is a wonderful reminder that age is no barrier to adventure, and that with determination and support, our senior years can be filled with purpose and achievement.
This edition also includes valuable health and wellbeing tips, scam awareness advice, recipes, and a guide to local services and events. There is also information about the many ways you can get involved in volunteering – whether it is through the Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre, local clubs, or programs supporting older residents.
Council is proud to be working alongside the Greater Shepparton Positive Ageing Advisory Committee to ensure the needs, voices and ideas of our older population continue to guide our work. Together, we are building a more age-friendly, inclusive community for all.
I hope you enjoy this edition and encourage you to share it with friends, neighbours or loved ones who may find it helpful.
