With Spring well and truly underway, the latest edition of the ABC Seniors Newsletter has a host of advice and activities to help you make the most of the longer days.
The colourful publication also focuses on the recent ABC Seniors Network (ABCSN) consultation event at Craigavon Civic Centre to gather feedback on the draft Programme for Government 2025-2027, which provided an important opportunity for people aged 50+ to engage with and provide input on the government’s proposed plans for the coming years.
For those keen to exercise their grey matter, there are crosswords and riddles, and you can also test your culinary skills with new recipes in the regular feature ‘Margaret’s Cookery Corner’.
Details of activities, including story-telling, creative writing and IT classes, which are being hosted by local libraries across the ABC Borough in the coming weeks, are also in the Newsletter.
A calendar will help you participate in the ‘Walk This May’ campaign organised by the Southern Trust. A brisk 10-minute daily walk has lots of health benefits and counts towards your 150 minutes of weekly exercise, as recommended in the physical activity guidelines for adults aged 19 to 64. Residents can also find details of the weekly Chatty Walks which take place in the borough.
The Alzheimer’s Society has put together helpful guidance and support for those families impacted by dementia, in an extensive feature for the ABC Seniors Newsletter.
