Senior Café Kussjö
Community, culture and health for seniors in rural areas
About the project
The project will create a recurring senior café in Kussjö village hall for seniors in Kussjö, nearby villages and the rest of Vindeln municipality. With coffee, community and various cultural and health elements, the association aims to combat loneliness and contribute to increased quality of life among the elderly. The program includes music, lectures, sing-alongs, creative activities, bingo and information about health. To also reach seniors who have difficulty getting to Kussjö, a transport solution is offered in collaboration with a local bus company. Special focus is on reaching individuals who are socially isolated, lack their own transport or do not use digital information channels.
”We want to create a warm meeting place where seniors can feel community, security and belonging.”
