THE BINGO sessions run every Friday, with ticket sales starting from 1pm and bingo starting at 1:30pm.

 

Prizes and refreshments are on offer, while attendees will also have the opportunity to hear about other local social activities and services that promote good health and wellbeing.

 

Leanne Clarke, manager at Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre says the sessions are already proving popular.

 

“Our KNC Bingo sessions are a great way for people in the community to have fun and make those invaluable social connections that can become difficult as we get older," Leanne Clarke said.

 

“As the Eastern Central Coast LDAT (Local Drug Action Team), we wanted to provide an opportunity for adults in the community to engage in new recreational activities in an alcohol-free environment that can support good health and well-being.

 

“It’s a fact that as we get older, we’re likely to take more medication, so we thought it was important to provide information on the risks and effects of mixing it with alcohol.

 

“We have been running these sessions for a few months, and we see more and more people attending each week. It’s become a great social activity, and with prizes and free refreshments also on offer, there’s no reason not to mark your calendar and come along."

 

KNC Bingo is made possible with funding from the Australian Alcohol Drug Foundation. For more information on KNC Bingo, contact Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre on 4363 1044.
