Bulldogs’ men’s health program kicks off again

Western Bulldogs will kickstart a new season of their men’s health program in the western suburbs next month.

The Sons of the West program has been a success since its launch three years ago, prompting it to be run from two venues in Melton this year.

The free 10-week men’s health program, for blokes aged 18-80, is aimed at improving mental and physical health through activity sessions, workshops, talks and cooking classes.

Melton mayor Kathy Majdlik urged all men to join the program, saying she was proud that Melton was one of six local councils to be running it.

“It’s very heartening to see more and more men taking part in this program each year and actively working towards improving their overall health,” she said.

The Sons of the West program will run from 7-9pm every Tuesday from June 7 to August 9 at the Taylors Hill Youth and Community Centre, 121 Calder Park Drive.

It will also run from 7-9pm every Thursday from June 9 to August 11 at Creek Community Centre, 19 Claret Ash Boulevard, Melton West.
