SENIOR CITIZENS PROGRAMMES

YSB also runs Senior Citizens Programmes for the residents of Kedah State, showing concern for and paying heed to the needs of senior citizens in this modern day and age. All manners of resources are obtained from governmental organisations such as hospitals and the State Welfare Department, as well as NGOs, for the activities implemented to benefit this group. These resources enable YSB to organise activities to help senior citizens overcome problems such as depression, loneliness, boredom and other symptoms which might make them feel neglected and isolated.

YSB has organised various activities to help senior citizens fill their daily schedules, such as:

• Group Exercise Programmes
• Recreational Activities and Visits
• Awareness Talks
• Skills Programmes
• Special Aid Response Unit Programmes

GROUP EXERCISE - This exercise programme encourages senior citizens to come out and meet their peers and exercise together in a lively atmosphere as part of their daily recreational activities. This programme is carried out in all districts, each with its own exercise group.

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND VISITS - This programme focuses on senior citizens in the rural areas to provide them with an opportunity to experience the wave of national progress and also visit historical attractions which may have links to their younger days.

AWARENESS TALKS - The health and financial wellbeing of senior citizens is the primary purpose of these awareness talks, which cover topics such as healthcare in the golden years and fraudulent syndicates in this high-tech age.

SKILLS PROGRAMMES - This programme provides support to senior citizens who have specific skillsets in fields such as canework, weaving and handicraft, which can help them generate income.

SPECIAL AID RESPONSE UNIT - The Special Aid Response Unit programme enlists senior citizens to enable them to join the general populace in providing aid to the victims of natural disasters. The senior citizens undergo basic first aid and CPR training under the guidance of the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, which provides them with an understanding of the procedures and the ability to act swiftly in case of an emergency or disaster.
