“NSW Seniors Festival brings people together, encourages seniors to try something new and fosters a great community spirit,” Stuart Ayres said.

“The NSW Government is supporting seniors in Penrith to live life to the fullest through a number of initiatives including the Seniors Festival. I encourage seniors to join the fun and get involved with the NCNS Senior Supporter Bus.”

Spokesperson for NCNS, Ms Justine Reynolds said NCNS will celebrate NSW Seniors Festival by offering its “Senior Supporter Bus” that will take seniors on visits to local volunteering organisations to see what opportunities are available to them.

“Seniors have a wealth of knowledge and experience and the Senior Supporter Bus is all about getting them connected with the community and perhaps taking on a volunteering position which is of interest to them,” Ms Reynolds said.

Minister for Ageing Tanya Davies said the 2019 NSW Seniors Festival theme is ‘Love Your Life’, which encourages seniors to participate in the community and live active, healthy and social lives.

“The Festival will give seniors the opportunity to participate in exciting activities with friends and family, meet others, and share their insights and experiences.”

NSW Seniors Festival 2019 is from Wednesday 13 to Sunday 24 February.
