Start A Group With Friends
Because it is always more fun together
We understand that activities and workshops are much more fun in numbers, and we can help you with arranging one of our Health Promotion Activities for your rest home, club, group or large circle of friends.
These fall prevention exercise classes are super popular in the Horowhenua region with multiple community classes already available in Levin, Shannon, and Foxton, and a long waiting list!
We can offer these 'special' classes to rest homes, groups and clubs that wish to introduce this exercise class to their people.
We would follow the same guidelines as we do for our community classes and could offer 10 weeks start up with a volunteer peer leader taking over the class post 10 weeks.
If you are a resident at a rest home, or a member of a group or circle of friends that would benefit from these classes, then get them together and contact us to arrange.
Because these are 'special classes' we can arrange the cost to be covered by the rest home, group etc... instead of individually if required.
We currently run multiple community classes for the "Staying Safe" driving course throughout the year on set dates, but the more older drivers who attend these courses, the safer we can keep each other on our roads!
We can offer these 'special classes' to rest homes, groups and clubs that have many people still driving and are wanting to keep everyone safe.
Because these classes are free to everyone over 65, we must have at least 13-15 participants per course, to make it financially affordable for us to facilitate.
We can arrange these for nighttime courses or on weekends if that is better suited to your group of people.
So, if you are a part of a car club, rest home or group that would benefit from partaking in a driving refresher course promoted by NZTA, then contact us to arrange.
What Else Can We Offer
Age Concern Horowhenua offers a variety of community classes, workshops and activities.
We can offer Steady As You Go and Staying Safe Driving Courses readily. But that doesn't mean we cannot cater to the needs of your group.
We can offer majority of our workshops and courses for 'special classes' with a little extra planning and organisation, so please contact us if your group would like to see any of our other Health Promotion Activities.
If you don't see a course or workshop on our list that you want to have then please contact us with any suggestions as we will always try to help.
