25.01.2022 Am Montag ist Feiertag (Labor Day) und unser Büro in West Croydon bleibt daher geschlossen. Geniesst das lange Wochenende! Monday is a public holiday (Labour Day) and our office in West Croydon will therefore remain closed. Enjoy your long weekend!

22.01.2022 Aufgrund des jüngsten COVID-Ausbruchs mussten wir unsere Seniorengruppen mit Wirkung zum 17. November für die nächsten zwei Wochen absagen. Leider gehören dazu auch unsere Weihnachtsfeiern, die wir schon alle vorbereitet hatten. Wir drücken jedoch die Daumen, dass der Ausbruch eingedämmt werden kann und, falls die Einschränkungen es zulassen, die Feiern doch noch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt stattfinden können. Wir halten euch dazu informiert! Unsere anderen Dienstleistungen u...nd Büroarbeiten wurden ebenfalls angepasst, aber ihr könnt uns weiterhin von Montag bis Freitag unter der Nummer 8340 3889 gerne anrufen. Due to the recent COVID outbreak we have cancelled our seniors groups effective yesterday November 17th for the next two weeks. Unfortunately that includes our Christmas functions for which we were all set to go. But, fingers crossed that the outbreak can be contained and restrictions allow, we have set new dates for the parties to still go ahead but at a later date. Watch this space! Our other services and office operations have also been adjusted but you can still give us a call Mon to Friday on 8340 3889. See more

20.01.2022 One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime. Stroke can be treated, but too many families continue to be devastated this disease. By becoming a F.A....S.T. hero like Maree you will learn the F.A.S.T. (Face. Arms. Speech. Time) signs of stroke and to call triple zero (000) at the first sign. https://bit.ly/3fc8dMb #strokeweek2020 See more
