Empowering Seniors Since 2025
From a single community class to five thriving locations, Uplift has grown through one simple belief: every senior deserves access to wellness, connection, and dignity.
Wellness Without Barriers
Uplift Senior Wellness Society exists to remove the obstacles that prevent seniors from living their fullest lives. We believe that wellness encompasses physical health, mental well-being, social connection, and purposeful living.
Founded in 2025 by two UBC students who saw too many seniors isolated and underserved, Uplift began with a small neighbourhood class in Surrey. Today, we serve over 80 active members across five locations, with specialized programs .
