Stay connected, live fully

Virtual Village East supports local seniors to age well at home by offering regular programmes, social opportunities, and practical support. Guided by the Eden Alternative approach, we focus on building meaningful relationships, encouraging independence, and fostering a strong sense of purpose and belonging. Our five pillars of wellbeing support connection, movement, learning, emotional wellbeing, and active participation in the community.

5 Pillars to Ageing Well at Home

To live independently as you get older, it’s vital to stay connected, healthy and active, have a safe home environment and support network in place, and to look after yourself physically, mentally and socially.

All our programmes are guided by our five pillars. Together, they support all aspects of wellbeing and help members stay independent, connected, and supported to stay connected and live fully.

All Virtual Village East programmes connect to one or more of these pillars, supporting members to age well at home in ways that reflect their interests, needs, and values.

My Support Network

Building strong relationships with people and organisations that offer friendship, encouragement, and support.

My Environment

Living in a home and community that feels safe, comfortable, and right for you.

My Physical Wellbeing

Staying active and looking after your body through movement, exercise, and healthy habits.

My Financial & Legal Wellbeing

Having access to information and support to feel secure and make informed decisions.

My Mental, Social & Spiritual Wellbeing

Staying curious, connected, and engaged in activities that give life meaning and purpose.

“Virtual Village connects members with each other and with the resources we all need to remain active and independent while ageing in our homes. Think of it as the old-fashioned village.”
