Women in Brimbank and surrounding suburbs will be supported to lead healthier lifestyles through the return of the Daughter’s of the West program.
The Western Bulldogs Community Foundation will provide a free 10-week health program for women aged over 18 who live and work in the west, starting from July 12.
The program is designed to connect like-minded residents and educate women about their health, through talks from experts and fitness classes for all levels of ability.
The sessions will run in two locations, with one in Fraser Rise on Wednesday evenings and the other in Brookfield on Tuesday mornings.
Facilitators plan the workshops, presentations, events and fitness sessions to make exercise and healthy lifestyles achievable and enjoyable in order to improve overall well being.
Western Bulldogs manager of community relations Kashif Bouns said the Daughters of the West program gave women of all ages the opportunity to come together in a safe and supportive environment to learn about all aspects of physical and mental health, while building social connectivity.
“We’ve been able to help thousands of women over the years on their health and wellbeing journeys, it means so much to us here at the Bulldogs to be able to play that role in people’s lives,” Mr Bouns said.
“We’re committed to providing a judgement free environment where women of all ages, cultures and abilities can come together to get active.”
