Torquay Community House\u2019s (TCH) Let\u2019s Go Outside project has received a $20,000 grant during the second round of the Surf Coast Shire council\u2019s COVID Recovery Grants.<\/h3>\n

From October 5, staff and volunteers from the Surf Coast\u2019s five Community Houses – Torquay, Winchelsea, Anglesea, Lorne, and Deans Marsh – will run free exercise classes in public open spaces across the shire each weekday.
\nThe classes will be COVID-safe and a \u201cfantastic way\u201d for people across the Surf Coast to ease back into exercise, according to Torquay Community House co-ordinator Laura Connor.
\n\u201cA lot of people are itching to socialise, and get outside and do something but at the same time are a little bit nervous about coming out. This is a great way to encourage people to come and exercise in a safe environment,\u201d Ms Connor said.
\n\u201cLet\u2019s Go Outside is a good way to help build people\u2019s confidence, the classes will be great for mental, and of course physical health and will be free every day from Monday to Friday across the Surf Coast.
\n\u201cWe will be adhering to all the safety restrictions and are asking people to register for the classes via our website torquaycommunityhouse.org.au<\/a> to make sure, numbers-wise, we\u2019re following the rules and regulations.\u201d
\nLet\u2019s Go Outside is accessible to all with no previous experience or level of ability required.
\nSome of the classes include tai chi, standing yoga, bells and beats, a talking circle, and qi gong.
\n\u201cThis initiative is great for everyone, especially people living alone, they get a chance to come and speak with people every day while getting in a half-hour of exercise,\u201d Ms Connor said.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re a network of five Community Houses in the Surf Coast and while every location might vary a little in classes, the idea is the same – reconnecting in a safe positive way.\u201d
\nTCH\u2019s classes will run at Hill Top Park, Fischer Street from 10am-10.30am from October 5.
\nTo register your interest, head to torquaycommunityhouse.org.au<\/a> or, search \u201cTorquay Community House\u201d on Facebook.
\nIf you would like to register for classes at your local Community House, head to their respective website or socials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
