Heartbeats in Boorhaman

Published on 02 March 2023

The Grit and Resilience Program is holding its sixth Heartbeat event for the Rural City of Wangaratta community at the Boorhaman Golf Club on Thursday 23 March 2023.

Heartbeat events have formed the framework upon which the Grit and Resilience Program has developed. Community involvement and participation have identified program actions and priorities, and this sixth event will be equally important.

“We would love community members to join us for a bit of fun, to hear what’s planned for the future of the Program and to share with us their ideas for building social connection and supporting community mental health and wellbeing,” said Grit and Resilience Program Coordinator Bek Nash-Webster.

“The sixth Heartbeat will also be a time for reflecting on the Program and identifying the learnings we want to take forward as the Program evolves into its next stage now that we have secured recurrent funding from the Victorian Government under the Social Inclusion Action Group Program,” said Bek.

“This is an opportunity for people to get involved in the Grit and Resilience Program, to connect and have fun!”

“Heartbeat events have been a great opportunity to contribute to the shape of the Program and this role will be even more important moving forward – we want and need to work closely with the community as we evolve.”

The Grit and Resilience Program invite you to be part of Heartbeat #6 at the Boorhaman Golf Club on Thursday 23 March 2023 from 5.30pm-7pm.

There will be a BBQ dinner provided and a fun game of footgolf to be had!

If you live, work, or play anywhere in the Rural City of Wangaratta, and you have an interest in creating opportunities for connection and inclusion and strengthening community support for mental health and wellbeing this event is for you!

RSVP is essential by Monday 20 March 2023, please email gritandresilience@wangaratta.vic.gov.au.
