Recently Senior Moments celebrated its fifth anniversary with a big birthday cake for morning tea.

The group started on January 31, 2013 on Thursday mornings with eight guests, a couple of volunteers and very limited financial means.

It grew steadily, registered as a charitable trust and expanded, starting a second group in 2014.

At the moment between 55 and 60 seniors are enrolled with Senior Moments, supported by a group of 15 volunteers and various external funding organisations.

Senior Moments is a friendly group that provides social activities for seniors in the Hibiscus Coast area.

Apart from a weekly activity programme, it also provides morning tea and lunch at a nominal charge. Transport can be arranged. Info: www.senior-moments.co
