Connecting you
Hosting Virtual Village East events and activities
The Virtual Village host regular events for seniors, such as morning teas, walks, outings or our popular monthly drop-in cafe. These are age-friendly events, meaning that they’re especially designed for older people and if needed, we can support you to participate. We also hold information mornings to learn about topics of interest – such as transport options or ageing well.

Connecting you with community groups and activities
We can connect you with opportunities to get active and involved – and enjoy companionship and friendship – by participating in local activities and events with people who have similar interests.

Supporting you
Neighbour-to-neighbour services – coming soon
We’re also planning to set up neighbour-to-neighbour services, where members support each other in ways that they can – just as you would if you lived in a real village. Things like helping each other out with jobs such as gardening, driving, dog walking or household chores. This enables you to use your skills to help others, or to find someone to help you with a job that you can’t do yourself. It’s a great way to help each other keep busy, useful and fulfilled!
Easy access to local support services
Virtual Village East assists you to access helpful resources and support services in your area, such as age-friendly transport, home help, cleaning or gardening services.

Our five pillars of ageing well at home
To live independently as you get older, it’s vital to stay connected, healthy and active, ensure you have a future-proofed home environment and support network in place, and to look after yourself physically, mentally and socially.
That’s why we’ve based our programmes on our ‘five pillars of ageing well’. When you’re planning which VVE events, activities or classes you’d like to attend, please keep these pillars in mind to keep yourself happier, healthier and getting the most out of life.
