More about Active 50+

Active 50+ group was started in 2016 as a part of the Community Champions project. The participants of the project noticed that people over 50 from Polish communities would face obstacles when trying to meet new people or engage in various activities, which often led to social isolation, lower levels of wellbeing and health problems

From the start, the group offers to its members the involvement in different meetings and activities, such as walks, museum visits, art workshops, cooking meet-ups, language classes, etc. The members of the group also engage in the yearly Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) and other events organised by the local institutions.

Members have their own Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aktywni50plus.
