Healthy ageing on a budget

Key points

• Staying healthy in later life does not have to be expensive, according to a feature by George Bellinger. Walking in local parks and streets is a free way to stay active.
• Group activities such as lawn bowls, tennis and gardening also build friendships. Meal planning, cooking seasonal produce and community gardens can help keep grocery costs down.
• Volunteering and local groups, including Canungra Men's Shed, can ease social isolation and cut costs.
