What makes AAA special?πŸƒπŸƒβ€β™€
We are an inter-school, inter-faculty project making us the perfect place to forge strong bonds you will not regret!

What's new this year?🌟
We will be having an added focus on building Active Ageing Communities! We will get community members who are already proficient in certain areas of active ageing (e.g. Mr Tan, 53, who does taichi every morning), and have them lead workshops from there!

AAA FAQπŸ€”

Q. Why is AAA special?
- Want to make new friends from YLL, LKC, DUKE, and Nursing? AAA is your spot!

- We offer more than just an annual health screening (which btw saw over 700 residents last year)! Our HEAL workshops cover exercise, sleep, nutrition, and more for active ageing! And allow you to have close interaction with our elderly for months!! (If you like long-lasting relationships, not merely a hi-bye one, come to AAA!)

- πŸ₯³[NEW! ] We’re adding a focus on Active Ageing Communities! We are going to guide the elderly to lead workshops and really take the initiative to lead an ACTIVE AGEING LIFESTYLE! This makes our work more sustainable and community-driven!

- πŸ₯³[NEW! ] We now also screen for loneliness and social isolation and invite folks to new social cohesion events!
- We’re also working on exciting research projects, like a local index for oral frailty with a Dental PhD student!

Join us if you love...
βœ…Keeping in touch with participants long-term (We still connect with Toa Payoh residents after a year!)
βœ…Health education and public wellbeing
βœ…Being part of a fresh, innovative CIP!

We look forward to seeing you in AAA!
