Recreation

Gone are the times of giving up things you enjoy as you get older; in fact, one of the benefits of this stage of life is you often have more time to spend doing what you love. There are plenty of recreational activities to get involved with, whether you’re into badminton, bridge, or ballroom dancing. Plus loads you might not have thought about or even knew existed!

Joining a regular sports club or hobby group is a fantastic way of staying active – both physically and mentally – and is a perfect place to meet like-minded people. Strength and balance classes are among a raft of options to help improve your overall health and wellbeing.

If you’re a keen traveller, now could be the time to visit that place you’ve always wanted to go to (COVID restrictions aside, of course); explore the range of tours that have been created specifically for people aged 60 and over. Even if you are no longer driving, there are transport services that can help you get where you need to go. This may include employing the services of a companion driver or using your SuperGold Card to access free buses. Whatever it is you enjoy most, you’ll find it here.
