Clubs for seniors

Club activities for seniors

Aurala's senior work organizes several clubs led by both peer counselors and paid counselors. The club activities are part of the living room activities, which means that participation costs nothing and is open to everyone. Clubs also meet outside the walls of Aurala.

Club activities are a great way to get out of the house and find something meaningful to do to brighten up your day, especially if you live alone. Often the activity itself may remain secondary and seeing other people and being in company becomes the main part.

Fridays from 1 pm to 3 pm

This active group meets on Fridays in Aurala and on other days somewhere else. We do familiar things, we invent and implement new ones and we are involved in many things. There is no ready-made program, but we plan and do what we feel is meaningful. Not everyone has to participate in everything (fortunately), but there is definitely something to be or do for everyone. Take the opportunity and come along, no obligations - just like playing!
