An innovative new program offering residents in the Toowoomba region a chance to upskill is coming soon.
New opportunities to get active are coming to regional areas as part of the INVIGOR8 TR Upskill initiative.
“While the activities are spread throughout the Region, we launched the INVIGOR8 TR Upskill initiative to grow our programs in our regional areas,” says Toowoomba Councillor Tim McMahon says.
“The key target areas include Cambooya, Clifton, Cooyar, Goombungee, Gowrie Junction, Kingsthorpe, Millmerran, Wyreema and Yarraman.
“Recipients of the initiative receive training and an equipment kit to assist in delivering low-cost classes to their local regional areas which will help to provide more opportunities under the Change Project.
“Our Change Project provides residents with a wide-range of low-cost activities, encouraging everyone to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.
“Local providers of activities such as yoga, gym stick and pilates will be supported under the program.
“By focusing on local providers we’re able to create more accessible and sustainable options to increase participation in physical activity across the Region.”
Funding of the INVIGOR8 TR Upskill initiative has been made possible through the Active Kit Grant Program through the Queensland Government.
