Active Living Longer
EXERCISE scientists from Charles Sturt's Active Living Longer (ALLong) program will host a catered social information evening in Bathurst this Friday, December 6 for people aged over 50 who are interested in maintaining and enhancing their health.

MORE NEWS FROM CSU:
Founder of Active Living Longer, Dr Eevon Stott, an adjunct research fellow at the Charles Sturt School of Exercise Science, Sport and Health, said the talk is organised in conjunction with the Carer Respite Team from LiveBetter Community Services and Charles Sturt.
"We draw from our experience in research and education to empower people and communities to be healthy and independent for as long as possible," Dr Stott said.
"With more people living longer and increasingly aware of the importance of staying healthy and active, this talk will be of interest to those who are keen to gain insights into how exercise can play a positive role in their later years of life."
The event will be held at Building 1292, Room 205 at Charles Sturt in Bathurst from 5.45pm for a 6.15pm start on Friday. Entry is by gold coin donation.
Spaces are limited and bookings are essential for catering purposes. To register, please email eevon.stott@activelivinglonger.org.au or call 0408 721 752.
