Free activity to change life

On offer until April 1 at Guildford, Berala and Auburn community centres, some of the free activities include Dance Fit, Table Tennis and Yoga.
Reclink spokesperson Adam Yee says Reclink works with more than 450 service and charity partners across Australia.
“We also establish programs for people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, mental health issues, substance abuse issues, low income and long term unemployment as well as refugee and asylum seeker communities and prison communities,” he said.
“University studies show that for every dollar spent on a Reclink program, there is a net benefit to the local community of over $8 through the reduction of re-offending, substance abuse and reliance on medical attention as well as an easing of the burdens on over-stretched services and charities.
“In addition, we aim to assist participants to move into further qualifications and study with the goal to employment opportunities.”
Reclink also recently hosted a swim program at Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre for 20 young men from the Hazara community as well as offering ‘open air’ dance classes in Auburn Park for CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) communities.
“These programs were very successful and we are next looking at starting up some programs with Tennis NSW,” Adam said.
