West End Seniors’ Network become an incorporated society in BC in October 1982, and has been a registered charity since July 1984. Currently, there are over 800 members of the Network, 18 paid staff members and more than 250 active volunteers who contribute over 20,000 hours a year. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life of older adults by providing social, recreational, educational and supportive programs and services that foster connection and inclusion in the broader community.
We have 800 members, but 2 thousand people receive our Newsletter and are welcome to participate in our programs.
Our vision is a Vancouver community that supports and empowers older adults to live involved, healthy and fulfilling lives.
Gardening is a healthy and enjoyable way to engage with other people and your neighborhood, creating a sense of community.
We work with low-income seniors living in the West End. Food insecurity has become a source of concern here and we hope to be able to grow some vegetables to help create awareness around this issue and perhaps teach how to grow edibles at home.
