Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking expressions of interest from local organisations, groups and businesses interested in hosting an activity or event for this year’s Seniors Festival.
The Seniors Festival offers older people a wide range of free and low-cost events and activities throughout the month of October. Council is leading the planning of the 2024 Seniors Festival program, featuring this year’s theme ‘Explore. Engage. Evolve’.
Council would like to hear from local organisations, groups and businesses who are planning on hosting an event or activity for the older members of the community and would like to showcase their event as part of the local Festival brochure and promotions.
Mayor, Cr Shane Sali, encouraged clubs, groups and organisations to get involved and host an event or activity for our senior community members.
“Council will be publishing a Seniors Festival Brochure of events and activities, to showcase everything taking place across Greater Shepparton during the month October. Groups, organisations and businesses are encouraged to hold ‘come and try’ days, craft activities, gardening, exercise programs, or any activity or entertainment which senior residents may enjoy,” said Cr Sali.
“Your event will be promoted on Council’s website and in the Seniors Festival program. This is a great opportunity to make new connections and friendships, all while having fun,” Cr Sali said.
If you think your organisation could host a great event for seniors, please fill-in the expression of interest application form on Council’s website shaping.greatershepparton.com.au/seniors-festival
Expressions of Interest close at 5pm on 26 August 2024. For more information contact Council’s Diversity Project Officer on (03) 5832 9700.
