The Sons of the West and the Daughters of the West are initiatives of the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation.
The Sons of the West has been delivered in Ballarat since 2016 and is a free health program for men aged 18 and over living, working and recreating in Victoria’s west. The ten-week program aims to improve men’s health and wellbeing through a series of workshops, presentations, events and experiences.
Building on the success of the Sons of the West, the Daughters of the West was introduced in 2017 and is a free health program for women aged 18 and over living, working and recreating in Victoria’s west. The ten-week program aims to educate women on key issues impacting women’s health including nutrition, mental health, physical activity and respectful relationships.
Sports Central delivers the Sons of the West and Daughters of the West health and wellbeing programs in partnership with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation and on behalf of the City of Ballarat.
