Orana Support Services to host free Senior's Week morning tea

NSW Seniors Week is an annual initiative which focuses on looking after senior citizens, getting them out of the house and getting them active.

Orana Support Services migration support and multicultural program manager Rajiv Bhattarai said the morning tea was an opportunity for local senior residents to mingle.

"The event is in celebration of Seniors Week," Mr Bhattarai said.

"It's a free event and is open to all seniors.

"We will have guest speakers including mental health nurse Helen Simmons and a senior resident from Kintyre who will talk about her experiences."

The main motive for the event is motivation.

"I am a former aged care nurse, so I am hoping to help motivate our senior residents to get out there and mingle," he said.

"I hope all of our local senior residents can come out to our morning tea."

Mr Bhattarai said it will not be an exhibition-type event, but an organised seated event where seniors will be able to chat among one another and enjoy themselves.

"It will give our senior residents the opportunity to mingle with friends," he said.

Participants need to book for the event.

The morning tea will be held at the Dubbo RSL Club auditorium on April 21 from 10am to 12.30pm.
