HEALTHY LIFESTYLES
Research tells us that the majority of Victorians do not achieve the minimum level of physical activity levels in a day for basic, nor do they consume sufficient fruit and vegetables. Basically we all need to move more and eat better.
This year the Community Health Promotion team we assist in developing a directory of walking/bike paths for the region and continue to promote community vegetable gardens.
COMMUNITY WELFARE
A significant body of evidence supports the fact that those most at risk of ill health are people that are most disadvantaged. A low income and unemployment are at the top of that list. Supporting people to lift themselves out of hardship is important for health.
This year we will continue to facilitate the Beechworth Community Welfare Project with the aim to making it self sustaining.
