Healthy Hearts and Minds
This project will be a BME women’s group. Each month a theme will be covered relating to good heart health and fun workshops and quizzes carried out. The women will be encouraged to lead a more active lifestyle via partnership working with Govanhill community health walks and REACH’s existing keep fit sessions will be promoted and women encouraged to sign up and join in. It is hoped that crèche facilities can be secured to enable women to come to the fortnightly group and a keep fit session once a week
