Retired or semi-retired?

LOOKING to get more out of retirement than just relaxation? Perhaps you are still working part-time and looking to build more social connections?

Probus Clubs offer a wonderful opportunity to reinvent retirement for people who have left their professional lives, or are working part-time, but still crave engagement, purpose and camaraderie.

Social engagement is important for everyone’s well-being but is particularly important as people enter their later years and leave the security and structure of the workforce behind. Having an active social life provides both mental and physical health benefits, warding off loneliness and depression and increasing longevity.

Social clubs like Probus provide a vibrant community of like-minded people who come together for community and companionship. Probus promotes mental and emotional wellbeing by fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. The shared experiences and mutual support within clubs help retirees navigate this significant life transition with confidence and enthusiasm.

Members meet monthly and stay active and involved through a wide variety of activities that meet individual needs. From coffee catchups and cinema groups to day trips, walking groups and dinner dates, club activities are as varied as the more than 1,300 Probus Clubs themselves. What they all have in common, however, is the opportunity to meet with fellow retirees and semi-retirees regularly, to maintain healthy minds and active bodies, to expand interests, and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.

Love to travel? So do the 100,000 people across the Probus network – and travel is always better with friends. Travelling with friends provides a comforting feeling of belonging anywhere in the world and transforms a standard vacation into an epic adventure of laughter and memories.

Probus Clubs offer many opportunities for members to travel near and far and participate in a wide range of activities and interests.

But the benefits of Probus extend beyond socialisation and sightseeing. Probus provides a structured environment where members can channel their skills and experiences into new projects and leadership roles. This not only keeps members intellectually stimulated but opens the door to new skills and personal development.

If you are working part-time or looking to turn retirement into an adventure filled with learning, connection and growth, Probus offers a compelling path forward.
