Healthy Town Expo on Woolgoolga Beach Reserve
The Woolgoolga and the Northern Beaches Chamber of Commerce and North Coast Primary Health Network’s Healthy Town Program is about to kick off preparations for our Healthy Town Month Promotion.
Woolgoolga is one of 5 towns in NSW to be chosen for this initiative and we have taken on the challenge to become the healthiest town.
May 2019 will now be known as Healthy Town Month in Woopi (and when we say Woopi we mean Woolgoolga and the Northern Beaches).
Our aim is to offer a FREE healthy event every single day in May, whether it be to attend a yoga class or get your blood pressure checked, go for a walk with a group, exercise with a personal trainer, learn how to cook a healthy meal or experience some tai chi. The possibilities are endless. We want to cover every aspect of health, both mental and physical, covering everyone from babies, infants, young people, parents, through to the elderly.
Walk The Talk with the mob!
