☕ Coffee With a Cop this Friday! 👮

Come along this Friday and enjoy a FREE coffee while having a chat with our local police officers.

🗓 Friday at Whyalla Recreation Centre
⏰ 10:00am – 12:00pm

Coffee With a Cop is a South Australia Police initiative designed to break down barriers and build stronger connections between police and the community.

It’s a relaxed opportunity to ask questions, raise concerns, have a conversation, and get to know the local officers working within Whyalla.

☕ Grab a coffee, pull up a chair and have a chat. We’d love to see you there!

Finishing off Women’s Health Week with good food, good company and plenty of great advice 💕🍓

Yesterday our members were joined by nutritionist Ingrid Pennington from The Parks Recreation and Sports Centre for a nutrition and healthy eating information session over morning tea, with a focus on practical everyday nutrition and eating well through menopause and beyond.

A big thank you to Ingrid for making the trip to Whyalla to share her knowledge with us, and to all our members who joined us for the morning! 💛

💛 Today is R U OK? Day!

Community happens every day in our YMCA SA spaces. This R U OK? Day, we encourage you to take a moment and ask the question.

⚡ Here's the R U OK? Day 4️⃣ FOUR STEP PLAN to start the important conversation with someone you know who might be struggling:
1. Ask: Pick a good time and place, then ask how they're really going.
2. Listen: Take what they say seriously, without judging or rushing them.
3. Encourage action: Help them think through small steps, or point them towards support.
4. Check in: Follow up in a couple of weeks. Staying in touch matters.
