There is limited opportunity for group physical
“There is limited opportunity for group physical activities, even though the bushfires have meant they are a priority for our area but it’s hard to get services to come out and run them.”
We’re working with young people and parents right across the state who are just as passionate as us about creating healthier communities.
Our Community Champions are generously sharing their stories and ideas to help shape the solutions for the future. Together, we are on a mission to support Victoria’s young people to lead healthier, happier lives. Inspired? Us too! You can share YOUR ideas here.
“There is limited opportunity for group physical activities, even though the bushfires have meant they are a priority for our area but it’s hard to get services to come out and run them.”
“Bring in more activities, whether its traveling sport or music or dance opportunities to regional areas.”
“Accessing healthy food can be difficult due to lack of options near people.”
“Being in rural communities can have limiting opportunities that impact wellbeing.”
“Cheaper public transport to reduce reliance on cars - more safe bike routes through suburbs.”
‘Healthy food is too expensive for me and my friends and when we are out, we often have to go with choices that are not the best due to cost.”
“More free, community based activities that bring people together.”
“Funding for our youth in regional centres to access culture and engage with mob in regards to women’s and men’s business.”
“Health and climate action considered in all policy making. Reduced capacity of corporate interests to influence health policy.”
“Huge investments into green spaces and creating community gardens and spaces where good healthy lifestyles can happen.”
