People aged over 50 who live in Strathalbyn have been asked to contribute to the Plug-in, sharing their experiences of living in regional South Australia.

The Plug-in is an initiative of COTA SA, supported by Office for Aging Well and Wellbeing SA.

It is researching the experiences of over 50s in the regions, including how they and their communities respond to environmental events.

The Plug-in is looking for participants from Kadina, Peterborough, Tanunda, Strathalbyn and Whyalla to talk about navigating major environmental and social changes.

It will host a series of focus groups and interviews in the local area.

Find out more details and register interest in taking part on the website or via email.

All who are selected and complete a focus group or interview will receive a gift card as thanks for their time.

The findings from the study will inform local programs in and be shared with decision-makers in state and local government, Local Health Networks, not-for-profit organisations, and other service providers.
