Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre hosts alcohol-free bingo sessions every Friday to provide adults with the opportunity to meet new people and learn about the risks associated with alcohol and its potential to interact with prescription medications.
Ticket sales start from 1pm, with bingo starting at 1.30pm.
Prizes and refreshments are on offer, while attendees also have the opportunity to hear about other local social activities and services that promote good health and wellbeing.
Centre Manager Leanne Clarke said the sessions were already proving popular.
“Our 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,” she 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 wellbeing.
“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.
