WoW! What an exciting Movement!

WoW! represents a novel transversal and cross-sectoral partnering approach to promote, activate, expand and maintain a healthy lifestyles movement across multiple settings, including: Worksite, Primary Healthcare Facility, School, Community and Public Space settings.

One facet of WoW! is about enabling people to live healthier lifestyles through MOVING – physical activity for health and fun!

If only they had Shoes2Move…

The WoW! Groups are working with lots of people, young and old, who want to start walking or running – to Move for better health – but they don’t have comfortable, supportive shoes. And they can’t afford to buy them. The Shoes2Move campaign calls on people and corporates to make donations, with which we will gift a new pair of basic exercise shoes to WoW! Club members who show commitment and regular attendance at their WoW! Group
