The Y Southland, in collaboration with community funders and Active Southland, has launched the Community Connector, a trailer equipped with brand new functional fitness equipment and active play experiences.
The trailer will be taken into communities throughout Southland and provide free opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to engage in physical activity.
The Y’s Community Connector is aimed at reducing barriers for people to participate in physical activity and bringing opportunities directly to the community.
The Community Connector has already been into several Southland schools and met with an overwhelmingly positive response.
It is now set for its public launch at Rangatahi Zone, in Bluff, where it will be from September 26 to 28. visit the Rangatahi Zone Facebook page for more information
From Term 4, the Community Connector will be regularly set up at different locations throughout Southland, with the Y and other organisations teaming up to deliver initiatives tailored to the unique needs of respective communities.
The Community Connector has been made possible through the generous support of key funding partners, including the ILT Foundation, Active Southland’s Tu Manawa fund, and Te Rourou, One Aotearoa Foundation.
