Viva: Want to age better? Join a cabaret?
Stage fright is an anxiety many share. Some love it, some fear it, and some choose to get up in front of people and perform in a cabaret show.
Viva: How to set up meetup groups online?
We’re living in an ever more isolated society with one in four older Australians living alone.
If meeting new likeminded people in your community isn’t as easy as how it used to be, how about creating your very own social group where people with shared interest can meet you in real life?
Viva: The benefits of joining a walking group
There are many health benefits of walking. And walking with others adds fun and friendship along the way. Have you thought about joining a group for a different experience?
Viva: The benefits of mentoring
The biggest cause of death for young Australians is suicide. Youth mentoring organisations are calling out for intergenerational mentors to address the concerns of young people before it gets too late.
Viva: Sustainable shopping isn’t just good for the environment
Around hundred billion new garments are being made each year to meet the demands of global consumers. And hardly worn clothes are piling up in the landfill.
However, some are being donated to charitable second-hand shops to supply essential services for the most disadvantaged in the society.
Viva: Why it pays to plan your end-of-life care?
Planning your end-of-life treatment isn’t a priority for most people. The reality is that only 15 per cent of Australians have actually documented their health preferences. Yet, it could be one of the most important decisions we ever make.
Viva: Forming intergenerational bonds through playgroups
Once upon a time, grandparents used to play an active role in the lives of their grandchildren. Nowadays, with families increasingly living apart, spending time together is a challenge.
However, some are finding ways to form new intergenerational bonds from playgroups.
Viva: Getting married again
It’s a common portrait of modern family life with the last census showing that about a fifth of Australians had been married before. Whether you feel ready or not to try the knot again, there are complexities that come with age.
Viva: How to create a trust fund?
If you’ve worked hard to pay off your mortgage and still have some surplus income, you might like to consider setting up a trust. With a family trust you can share your hard-earned assets with your loved ones even past your life time.
Viva: Why it’s important to learn CPR?
