The post Italian Seniors Morning Group (MSSP) first appeared on COTA NT | Voice for Territory Seniors.]]>
With the assistance of funding provided by the Multicultural Affairs Office of the Northern Territory government, COTA NT sponsors two seniors groups – Italians and Timorese/Portuguese – who are brought together weekly for social and community engagement purposes.

About

  • A support person coordinates the activities, organises translation services where necessary, and assists COTA NT to deliver the program to these two groups of very senior and isolated men and women. A network of volunteer drivers assists weekly, providing the transport of the ladies using the COTA NT’s Toyota HiACE bus.
  • The program runs all year round except during school holidays. For more information about this program, click here.
  • To express interest in joining the program, or enabling another cultural group to meet, please contact the PICAC program manager.
