Reinvent retirement with Probus

25 Sep 2024

Looking to get more out of retirement than just relaxation? Probus Clubs offer a wonderful opportunity to reinvent retirement for those who have left their professional lives, but still crave engagement, purpose and camaraderie.

Social engagement is important for everyone’s well-being but is particularly important as we enter our 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 friendship, fellowship and fun. 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 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 retirees 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, mishaps and memories.

Probus clubs offer many opportunities for travel near and far, and members have access to a range of exclusive offers through Probus Partners.

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.

So, if you are looking to turn retirement into an adventure filled with learning, connection and growth, Probus offers a compelling path forward.
