What is this service?
The Elders Empowerment Programme is a service designed to improve Physical, Mental and Intellectual wellbeing of elderly people through health talks, advice on health issues, book club and physical exercises enabling them to live a healthy life.
The programme supports elderly Tamils by providing activities in their first language but we welcome people from all backgrounds. All of our physical activity sessions are held in English.

Traditional celebrations are some of our main activities, including Thai Pongal Harvest Festival and Deepavali. Religious events and national holidays are tightly woven into EEP’S overall cultural identity.
Celebrating our traditions help keep us grounded in our own culture while adapting to a new one. They also can help us connect with fellow compatriots.
