VVE Open Morning: Creating a Supportive Environment
Wednesday, 7 May 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient. – Steve Maraboli
Join us for an insightful and engaging Open Morning to discover everything Virtual Village East has to offer. Enjoy morning tea and refreshments while our expert speakers share practical advice on building resilience and creating a safe, supportive environment.
Independent living means staying connected, healthy, and active, ensuring your home is safe, and having the right support in place. At Virtual Village East, our five pillars of ageing well focus on these key areas, and this session will highlight My Environment—helping you create a safer and more supportive space for independent living.
This is a great opportunity to gain practical tips on improving home safety, learn about local resources, and find ways to stay connected while maintaining your independence.
