There is no doubt that our society is an ageing one, but with good health, the right attitude to the driving and some adjustments where necessary, there are few reasons why older drivers cannot retain their on-road mobility and independence. RACQ offers the Years Ahead program to assist older motorists to drive safely for longer by being aware of their own capabilities.

This presentation covers age-related road safety issues, helps participants update their knowledge of changes to the road rules and learn some helpful driving tips. It also covers important issues such as physical fitness and medical requirements to drive, plus the options available once retired from driving.

Closet clean out for Bush Fire Appeal

Media personality and MYER Fashion Ambassador, Tamara Wrigley, is holding a closet clear-out on the Sunshine Coast to raise money for the Bush Fire Appeal.

Local residents can donate unwanted high-quality clothing to the warehouse at 6 Kelley Court, Maroochydore, between the hours of 9.00am to 4.00pm from Monday, January 20 to Friday, January 24, and the warehouse will become a pop-up market shop with the clothes for sale on Saturday and Sunday, 1-2 February.

“Clean out your closets for a good cause,” says Tamara. “We’ve been trying to think of ways to contribute without overflooding the charity with clothes, and The Bush Fire Appeal needs money more than anything else at the moment.

“Some people don’t have cash to donate, but are happy to donate clothes, and cleaning out your closets to raise money is the perfect way to help them.

“We only want good quality clothes and are appealing to everyone donating them to stick to the designated drop off times, and not dump anything outside the premises at other times, as they won’t be saleable.

“All sales will be donated to the CFA Vic and Wildlife Victoria

At least 27 people have died in the bush fires, which have destroyed more than 1000 homes, 13.3 million hectares of land and billions of animals, since September.

Tamara joins some of the world’s biggest stars who have donated funds to the Bush Fire Appeal, including the Hemsworths, Nicole Kidman, Elton John, Kylie Minogue, Pink and the Kardashians, along with mining magnate Andrew Forrest and major banks and corporations.

SO, clean out those closets, drop your pre-loved fashion down to 6 Kelly Court between 9am – 4pm 20th January – 24th of January. THEN come a shop til you drop knowing that every $$ you spend is going directly to the Australian Bush Fire Crisis.

FASHION BUSH FIRE MARKET WILL BE OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON SATURDAY 1ST OF FEBRUARY AND SUNDAY 2ND OF FEBRUARY. 9.00AM TO 4.00PM BOTH DAYS!

Get Your Happiness on Track
With the festive season behind us and the new year ahead, it’s a perfect time to get your happiness on track and to manage stress and anxiety.
Christine Hegerty, Social Worker, Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service (SCHHS) recommends that people who regularly experience stress and anxiety should kick start 2020 by attending the Managing Anxiety Program (MAP).
Ms Hegerty said: “Learning to manage anxiety is the key to controlling it.
“MAP teaches participants how to stay afloat when waves of anxiety start rolling in and how to surf them to safety.
“Learning how to disarm anxiety provoking thoughts and problem solve, helps participants take charge and reclaim happiness,” she said.
Anxiety is an extremely common condition in Australia, with one in four people experiencing it at some stage in their life.
Ms Hegerty said: “No-one is immune from anxiety as it affects people of all ages, genders, occupations and social standing.”
MAP is a free, four-week program that requires participants to attend a two-hour session each week.
Participants learn a range of anxiety management techniques from a qualified team of social workers.
MAP has been delivered locally for 13 years and has benefitted many hundreds of people.
The next MAP will commence on Monday 10 February, 9:30-11.30am at the Maroochydore Health Hub, 60 Dalton Drive, Maroochydore.
A GP referral is not necessary, but bookings are essential and limited, so don’t delay, register today. Ph: (07) 5202 9510.
