ENCORE
YWCA Adelaide’s longest running program,
Encore, continued to provide high quality pool
and floor based exercise programs to women
during the 2015/16 year who have experience
breast cancer at any time in their lives.
EMBED SLIDESHOW HERE
Three programs were delivered at Flinders
Medical Centre and two programs were
delivered at Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre
over the past 12 months. 56 women
participated in these programs with a number
of women returning to complete a second
program to gain further benefit.
At the end of 2015 we farewelled long time
program facilitator Ruth Morrison. Ruth
delivered Encore at Flinders Medical Centre
for over 10 years and was a much loved
member of the Encore team. We wish Ruth all
the very best for the next chapter of her life.
Lesley deWet-Jones has come on board as
our new Flinders program facilitator and she
has seen great success in her programs to
date.
EVERY GIRL
Every Girl is a program that is delivered around
the country by YWCA, and provides girls with the opportunity to develop an understanding of
human rights, as well as their own leadership identity, in order to achieve social transformation
in a way that is relevant to their lives, whether this is with their family at home, their peers at
school or within their broader community.
The program aims to create a respectful, age appropriate and culturally safe environment where
girls can explore and articulate their individual strengths and values, and develop their ability to
influence change in their communities and build resilience.
YWCA Adelaide delivered the Every Girl program to students at Ocean View College in Term 1
2016 and John Pirie Secondary School in Term 2 2016.
