The work focuses on comparing the prepared offer and verifying it with the beneficiaries expectations. Qualitative research was carried out to take a closer look at the senior needs. The issue of motivation to undertake classes was raised. Subcategories have been introduced, according to which seniors’ activity patterns can be defined. Factors that prevent or make it difficult to take up activities are also presented – among others, the problem of self-exclusion of seniors from social life and gender related barriers, which limit the participation level in programs addressed to seniors.
