Hub coordinators in a flap

More than 50 people who flapped their wings to an old ‘60s tune  at a recent seminar took away a message that the active choice is the easy choice.

Kirsty Mattison from Stadium 2000 led a rousing version of ‘Sit and be Fit’ an exercise programme for those with limited mobility or those who haven’t been active for a while. Kirsty had many requests from the audience for the soundtrack so community representatives could share the Bird Dance with their groups!

Kim Willemse, Marlborough Hubs advisor, had organised the day to promote the presence of Active Hubs in the Marlborough Community. These hubs are located in Picton, Riversdale, Seddon, Renwick and Havelock. All hubs have a part time coordinator responsible for setting up activities the community actually wants, with the aim of getting more people active. Hubs also offer a central area for the promotion of health messages. Kim was delighted with the turnout and looks forward to building on the growth and success of Active Hubs in Marlborough.
