Melville Friends Group Activities
Do you want to rekindle a hobby or interest that you have enjoyed for many years? How about making new friends and attending a lunch outing or concert, visiting a museum or having a catch up by the river? Or you may want to participate in Mahjong, Tai Chi, bowls, mini golf, light yoga, computer lessons, singing and music appreciation, or join our Men’s Club.
Melville Friends and Groups provides social support in the community with a range of activities, outings and events for our clients, which provide social connection, education and enjoyment.
