More than a group. It's a community.

As we get older, staying connected matters more than ever. Community65 is a place where people aged 65+ can feel part of a local community — sharing experiences, supporting one another and staying engaged in everyday life.

Whether you’re looking to socialise, give back, find support or simply stay connected, Community65 is about belonging, not obligation.

Local connection, support and belonging — your way

Community65 is designed to strengthen connection and belonging at a local level. Through activities, shared experiences, community conversations, local resources and opportunities to lend a hand, members can choose how they participate, with no pressure or obligation.

It’s about staying connected to people and place, while continuing to live life on your own terms in your own time.

Connection that supports wellbeing

Strong local connections support mental health and wellbeing. Feeling connected to others can reduce isolation, build confidence and create a sense of belonging. Community65 helps make those connections easier, in ways that feel natural and supportive.

Something for everyone, close to home

Community65 offers a range of local activities designed to bring people together in relaxed, welcoming ways. From casual coffee catch-ups and local events to group outings and community projects, activities are flexible and easy to join — so you can take part in what interests you, when it suits you.

Simple membership, made easy

Community65 membership connects you to one local community and gives you access to activities, resources and conversations designed to support connection and wellbeing. The app is simple and easy to use, so staying involved feels straightforward and comfortable.

For families and supporters

Community65 welcomes families as part of the wider community. Families can stay informed about local activities, explore helpful resources and feel reassured knowing their loved one is connected to a supportive local community — all while respecting independence, choice and privacy.

About membership fees

Some Community65 communities may have a small membership fee to support local activities and services.

Details about membership fees, where relevant, will always be clearly outlined when you join your local Community65.

Virtual check-ins

Virtual check-ins are optional daily check-ins available as an add on app.

If a check-in is missed, a welfare follow-up can be triggered, offering peace of mind for you and your loved ones — without being intrusive.
