The marvellous mature women's friendship and support group (Logan Central)

The group will focus on healthy ageing by way of guest speakers and being involved in local activities. Outings and social morning too. We believe that part of the key to staying healthy is to stay involved in the community. This can be achieved by belonging to a social group such as Marvellous Mature Women. The reason this is a woman's only group is because we feel women have different needs and that women of this age group would not be comfortable discussing subjects of a personal nature not associated with males.
