DWICA Working with the Elders of Our Community

The mainstay of the organisation is our elderly members who make sure that they always pay their membership fee on time and therefore ensure the sustainability of the organisation.

There are a number of social activities on offer for the elderly to help them to get out and about. On Mondays from 11.30 am to 12.30 pm, we have tai chi, which is tremendously beneficial for anyone suffering with diabetes or rheumatism as well as being extremely good for health and well being.

On Wednesday nights from 7.30 pm to 11.00 pm there is bowls, dominoes - a traditional Caribbean past-time, board games, such as Scrabble, and we also have Nintendo Wii Fit.

The Association has computers which members can come and use at their leisure. There is a large television for sports and entertainment, located in the Main Hall. We also have a projector and big screen, where we can show films not just for the elderly members but for everyone to enjoy.
