Step and Connect Yarra Ranges provides opportunities for women to move more in activities that are fun, inclusive, safe, and social.
Walking is the most popular activity for women in the Yarra Ranges, and while walking groups exist, those with a focus supporting women are minimal. Along with a gap in accessible, free, and convenient active recreation opportunities, barriers such as personal safety, lack of time, distance from activities, and caring responsibilities can impact participation.
Women’s Social Walking groups have been established at 6 Community Houses in the Yarra Ranges including:
Mooroolbark Community House, Mt Evelyn Community House, Seville Community House, Olinda Community House, Selby Community House and Lilydale Community HouseÂ
