You work at a Strawberry Fields Retirement Village, which is located in an inner city suburb. 

Strawberry Fields is privately owned and its residents are self-funded. No government funding is received.

Strawberry Fields caters for people who are over 55 and retired. The village offers independent living in an environment that provides support, security and a sense of community.

Strawberry Fields offers various programs to support the health and wellbeing of residents as they age:

It offers the following:

§ A fully equipped gym and swimming pool

§ TV and DVD lounge and games facilities

§ Happy Hour every Friday

§ Regular excursions for shopping, theatre, coffee groups and so on.

Clients present with a variety of abilities - some are fit and fully active, while others have various health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and dementia.

Strawberry Fields caters for up to 40 residents and has two staff on duty from 9.00am to 8pm. One staff member is on call overnight.

 

?The task

Your task is to organise a community event for Strawberry Fields' residents and their family/friends, and a local community group. 

The aim of the event is to build relationships within the community and to involve family and friends.

The event may use the Strawberry Fields facilities or it may involve use of an external venue. 

The event may be designed around a context of your own choice - examples may include:

§ a Christmas event

§ Spring Racing Carnival

§ mid-winter warm-up.

You have received $2,000 for this program (this must also cover staff costs). 

Each staff member costs $22 per hour. 

If additional money is required, this will either need to be obtained through a contribution from participants or by funding from a local community organisation or business.
