The 21st Joondalup LiveLighter Aged Care Games was held on Monday 2nd September 2024 at Bouncer Sports Centre. The games were lots of fun and the teams that attended really had a good time. Participants take part in a variety of games which are played with enthusiasm and passion. These games for some participants become the highlight of their year with and is supported by facility staff running training sessions throughout the year. This year was especially delightful as the Barridale Queens had a team of young children from the intergenerational program run at Barridale come along and cheer them on.
