About Better Connect+
Better Connect+ is designed for people over 50, encouraging you to get out of the house, meet others with shared interests, and enjoy meaningful social connections.
Why Better Connect+?
Because being active and connected isn’t just good for your physical and mental health—it’s something you deserve. Life is richer when shared with others!
What to Expect
You can explore our Better Connect+ calendar below, which is where you can find all our upcoming Better Connect+ events such as:
- QPP-Organised Outings: Carefully planned group activities tailored to a variety of interests.
- Collaborative Events: Opportunities to join existing activities hosted by other organisations.
- Affordable Options: Recognising that budgets vary, we’ll include free or low-cost activities, as well as options where participants can purchase their own tickets for exhibitions, sports events, workshops, and more.
Our Goal
To celebrate the diversity of our community by offering opportunities to connect through shared interests. This isn’t just about meeting people with similar experiences—it’s about making genuine friendships and creating memories.
