program starts

A free men’s health program is starting up in Sunbury next month which promises to get men feeling healthier, more active and better connected to the local community. Sons of the West is delivered by Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health in partnership with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation and, over 10 weeks, combines group-based exercise and men’s health education topics.

The program is open to men aged 18 and over and welcomes those of all abilities and fitness levels. The presenters include a dietician, an exercise physiologist and a mental health clinician.

Participants get lots of encouragement throughout the 10 weeks and there are giveaways and incentives including the chance to win signed merchandise from the Western Bulldogs Football Club.

Sons of the West starts on Tuesday 7 March, 6.30pm to 8.30pm, and will be delivered weekly in person in Sunbury. To book a place, go to www.eventbrite.com. au/e/sons-of-the-west-2023-sunbury-session-tickets-519248414987 or call or email Kylie Stafford on 0493 680 777 or sotwsunbury@scchc.org.au.
