Going out on Saturdays is extra special for a group of Filipino Australian seniors in the inner west of Sydney. For them, a get-together breaks the monotony of their everyday routine and gives them something to look forward to every weekend.
Celebrating their fourth year as a group, the Philippine Australian Seniors Social Club (PASSoc) aims to promote senior's social well-being through their weekend socialisation.
The club members meet every first Saturday of the month to do a range of social activities including dancing, singing, storytelling, and eating Filipino food together. These activities allow them to meet fellow seniors, connect with them, and give them something to look forward to every weekend.
"For many seniors and grandparents looking after their grandchildren, Saturday is the only day for us to go out and enjoy," shares PASSoc member Virgie Pineda.
