They believe in purposeful and learning-oriented retirement!
According to their founders: “We believe healthy ageing is a skill and it can be acquired. We strongly support social connectedness as an intervention for healthy ageing. If socialization is a skill, we believe it must be transferrable. Hence we developed social clubs to nurture connectedness.”
