21.01.2022 We are continuing to stay connected and enjoy the beauty of music together. We may be physically isolated by remaining safe in our homes but we are not socially isolated, as we are still engaging and having our online get togethers. Please remember to stay safe and show kindness and respect for one another.

15.01.2022 COVID-19 continues to impact the world in which we live. We are continuing to be physically distant from one another to remain safe and stop the spread of the virus. During these times it is important to keep in contact with friends, neighbours, family and community members. Check in on one another for a friendly chat or cuppa over the phone. These conversations could mean so much more to someone than you will ever know. We would like to share this clip from our online get together on Easter Saturday. Our very talented Vicki, continues to keep us united in song and brighten our day.

14.01.2022 Music is powerful. It holds memories of significant times in our lives.

14.01.2022 Day "we have lost count" of restrictions and staying safe from COVID-19 but we remain happy, positive and connected with hopes of physically getting together soon. Since the end of April, Seniors Creating Change have hosted 7 virtual performances at 5 aged care facilities in Townsville. We recognise that many residents have been isolated from friends and family during COVID-19 restrictions and are so pleased we have still be able to share some music, songs and laughter with our friends at these locations.

13.01.2022 Seniors Creating Change would love to know how everyone out there are doing? We are now over 2 months into COVID-19 restrictions coming into our lives, introducing us to physical distancing and isolation. Seniors Creating Change have continued to meet online and over the phone sharing songs and stories. We love our online get togethers but definitely miss our normal Saturday mornings.

13.01.2022 Ageless playgrounds, a great idea. We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

13.01.2022 Maybe one for the songbook

12.01.2022 Did you know that there is an Age Discrimination Commissioner in Australia? #Ageism may come in many different forms, but it can often lead to #ElderAbuse and t...he denial of our human rights as we age. Age Discrimination Commissioner Dr Kay Patterson AO is traveling through Australia to raise awareness of Elder Abuse, and more importantly, to empower and educate communities on how to prevent it from happening in the first place.

12.01.2022 Seniors Creating Change (SCC) are honoured to be inducted onto the Queensland's inaugural Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Honour Roll. SCC continue to raise awareness about Domestic and Family Violence including elder abuse through our public performances, performances at aged care facilities and social engagements with the general public. SCC will continue to stand up, sing loudly and call for an end to elder abuse and domestic and family violence.

10.01.2022 Seniors Creating Change will also perform at this Seniors Week event!

05.01.2022 Spreading some early cheer at Villa McAuley

05.01.2022 Older Australians have been told for 7+ weeks now to isolate for safety precautions. This has resulted in many older persons having little to no social interactions. We, Seniors Creating Change have continued to support one another through our online get togethers. However we have really missed our community performances. We recognise that older Australians in aged care facilities have spend 7+ weeks of isolation without many, if any, family and friends visiting. Therefore Friday last week, we had a virtual visit with Bolton Clarke Glendale residents. We sung songs, had a chat and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Glendale for having us and we hope to visit virtually again soon. #OlderPersonsandCOVID19 #ShowALittleKindness #SeniorsCreatingChange

04.01.2022 It is wonderful to be back performing at Bolton Clark Glendale, even with reduced numbers.

03.01.2022 Congratulations to Seniors Creating Change member Robyn Moore, for being awarded Townsville's Female Senior of the Year for 2019. We also congratulate Townsville Elder Alfred Smallwood for Male Senior of the Year.

03.01.2022 Right now our community, country and planet are facing scary times regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19). We would like to remind everyone to stay safe, check in on your family and friends in a manner that meets physical distancing requirements or by phone, because what we all need now is kindness for each other. PLEASE NOTE: This clip is from our archives and was not filmed recently. We are staying safe and at present with all Seniors Creating Change activities on hold until it is safe to be together again.

01.01.2022 A article worth the read regarding online scams targeting older Australians.

01.01.2022 Today we remember all those who have served for our country and thank them. We also thank all who are serving and will into the future. Thank you. Seniors Creating Change commemorated ANZAC Day with a medley of songs during our online get together yesterday. Many of our members are ex-service men or women, and we thank them and honour them through song.

01.01.2022 A great series of short films that challenge people’s perception of ageing.
