Who We Are

The Hingham Friends of the Center for Active Living (FOCAL) was established to support and assist the Council on Aging and enhance the community’s awareness of the activities offered by the Center for Active Living and augment its efforts to provide enriching programs and resources for Hingham residents.

At the Center for Active Living every day is a new day to connect, discover and grow.  The Center for Active Living provides wellness classes, creative workshops, information & referrals including: education and life-long learning, financial and legal advisors, fitness classes, music, writing and art classes, games, health and wellness, meal programs, restaurant outings, social events, transportation services, volunteer opportunities and much more for our older residents.

 By the year 2035, older residents will make up 39% of our communities population.*  The Center for Active Living is preparing for the future with their ever-growing services, programs and events. For more information around CAL programming please review their newsletter.

Please join us.
