The City of Greater Bendigo is hosting a Be Well Be Connected Expo in Heathcote for older adults and people living with a disability at the Barrack Reserve Pavilion from 10am to 2pm on Wednesday October 2, 2024.
City of Greater Bendigo Community Partnerships Manager Andie West said the expo, which is funded by the Victorian Government as part of the 2024 Victorian Seniors Festival, is free to attend and will feature a number of exhibits showcasing aged care, community and disability products and services that support positive ageing and living well in Heathcote and surrounding areas.
"It will provide an opportunity for attendees to meet face-to-face with Heathcote service providers, advisors and community groups," Ms West said.
"The Expo aims to connect organisations, community groups and individuals with a network of available support and community activities to enjoy.
"The theme Be Well Be Connected is important, as it emphasises the importance of being well, connected and participating in the community.
"This is the second Be Well Be Connected Expo to take place in Greater Bendigo this year with the first taking place at the Bendigo Showgrounds in May.
"The Bendigo expo was very successful, and we made the decision to create an expo roadshow to provide information to residents living in the Heathcote district and to provide an opportunity for those who may have missed the Bendigo event.
"Everyone is welcome to come along to the Heathcote Be Well Be Connected Expo. It is a great opportunity to learn about what is on offer to local residents and to assist older people and people living with a disability in our community to be better informed."
