Residents of Melbourne’s west are invited to join the Daughters of the West program, a free health initiative that will return to Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong in mid-July.
The 10-week program is open to women and those who identify as women, aged 18 and over, living or working in the region.
Organised by the Western Bulldogs community foundation in partnership with councils and community health services, the Daughters of the West program aims to enhance women’s health and wellbeing through workshops, presentations, and healthy activities.
Each week, participants will meet in local community groups for two-hour sessions. These sessions will include interactive discussions led by guest presenters on topics such as nutrition, mental fitness, and health screenings.
In addition to educational workshops, the program offers group-based exercise sessions tailored to various fitness levels, ensuring that all participants can benefit.
The program will commence at the Laverton Community Hub on Monday, July 15, RecWest Footscray on Tuesday, July 16, Brooklyn Community Hall on Wednesday, July 17, and Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre on Thursday, July 18.
Vietnamese speakers can join Vietnamese Daughters of the West at RecWest Footscray on July 16.
