Dareton Community Health Day: Promoting Healthy & Independent Aging

Wentworth Shire Council, in partnership with the Dareton Men in the Shed, is inviting residents to the Dareton Community Health Day this April. This free event is dedicated to the health, wellbeing, and independence of older adults within our region.

Whether you are a senior, a carer, or a family member, this day offers a vital opportunity to connect with local services, receive expert advice, and enjoy a social day out with the community.
