The South African Associations of Retired Persons (SAARP) is an example of a social service provider that offer free membership to older persons as well as encourage activities such as arranging outings and excursions (subsidised), public talks, and computer training to empower older persons to keep in contact with their children using email, etc. (for more information see https://saarp.net/). Services provided by community social centres include for example, free will services, reading and social clubs, and assistance benefit plans (e.g., funeral plans and short-term insurance). The SAARP has about 28 social clubs that are run by volunteers and charge a small membership fee (to cover running costs) across the country (see https://saarp.net/social-clubs/social-clubs).
