Many older adults in our communities are socially isolated and unable to access in-person or online programs. Some are reluctant to meet face-to-face for health reasons. Others can’t because of physical or mental health issues, financial constraints, transportation difficulties, or technological barriers.
Seniors’ Centre Without Walls (SCWW) eliminates these barriers by offering free, telephone-based group programs that make it safe and easy for seniors to participate in interesting activities, meet new people, and make meaningful connections – all from the comfort of home.
