On May 7th, 2025, the Belmont Oasis came alive with energy and smiles as around 140 seniors and community members joined us for a day filled with fun, connection, and valuable information. Proudly sponsored by LiveLighter Healthway our naming rights partner, and brought to life by SRCWA in partnership with the City of Belmont, the event was all about celebrating healthy living, staying active, and enjoying everything our wonderful community has to offer!
We were thrilled to welcome so many local groups and services, each sharing their expertise and support. Visitors had the chance to explore displays from:
Advocare, ANZ Bank, Audika Hearing, Auscare Group, Ballroom Fit, Befriend Inc, Belmont Men’s Shed, Belmont Park Tennis Croquet Club, Belmont Senior Citizens, Bloom Hearing, City of Belmont, COTA WA, Daily Living Products, DEMIRS – Consumer Protection, Department of Transport, Diabetes WA, First Aid Kits WA, Helloworld Travel Belmont WA, Injury Matters, Innogreen Technologies, MindSpot GP, Rapport-Holistic Home Care, SRCWA/LiveLighter Healthway, Umbrella Community Care, Uniting WA – Financial Wellbeing Services, and WA Seniors Card Centre.
It was a pleasure to kick off the day with a warm welcome from our Executive Officer, Dawn Yates, who gave a heartfelt shout-out to City of Belmont Community Engagement Officer Shubh Jhajhra for his work in helping to make this event possible. The event was officially opened by City of Belmont Mayor Robert Rossi, followed by Graham Bennet, SRCWA’s State Vice President, who got everyone excited to join in the fun activities.
And what a lineup of activities we had! From Exergaming and Sticky Darts to Beanbag Toss, Game of Bob (Table Billiards), Hart Sport Activities, Seated Hockey, Air Soccer, Croquet, Carpet Golf, Carpet Bowls, Pole Walking, and more—there was something for everyone. The laughter and friendly competition filled the room, bringing people together in the best possible way.
🍽️ Lunch was a hit! The City of Belmont provided a delicious, healthy light lunch that kept everyone fuelled up and ready for more fun. After lunch, we were treated to a stunning Ballroom Dancing demonstration that had everyone clapping along. And when it was time for the interactive Ballroom Fit session, participants didn’t hesitate to jump in and show off their moves—it was pure joy!
THANK YOU to the City of Belmont staff and volunteers, the Belmont Oasis Staff, and our incredible SRCWA volunteers and team—your hard work and dedication made this event such a success. A special mention also goes to the Wooroloo Prison trustees for their wonderful assistance throughout the day.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the amazing support from LiveLighter Healthway, the generous hosting by the City of Belmont WA, and the backing of the Government of WA. Your support helps us bring the community together and keep healthy living for seniors at the heart of what we do.
