COMMUNITY GROUPS

Chinese Seniors Group

Our Chinese Senior Group is a warm and welcoming community for men and women aged 55–85 to come together, connect, and support one another.

Formed as part of The Storehouse’s commitment to supporting those experiencing hardship and social isolation, this group provides a safe and friendly space to build friendships and stay active. Each session begins with a Basic English class in the morning, followed by lively group dancing practice and gentle Tai Chi. More than just activities, it’s a place where laughter is shared, confidence grows, and a sense of belonging is nurtured.

Meets: fortnightly on Mondays 10.00am – 12.00pm
