This edition, we’re excited to be collaborating with Curtin University student dietitians to deliver a range of nutrition and cooking workshops across the City of Cockburn. We kicked off the first session yesterday and are looking forward to the upcoming workshops in this series.
|
Also coming up, there’s a free Speech Pathology service available through Curtin University, along with free financial counselling for those who would like extra support managing their finances—because, let’s be honest, our financial wellbeing and our health often go hand in hand.
|
Finally, we’ve included some simple exercises you can do while waiting for the kettle to boil or the washing machine to finish its cycle, plus a delicious Egg Banh Mi recipe to try at home.
|
Thank you for being part of our community and we hope to see you around!
