FOOTHILLS-based group Girls Together is running a series of workshops in July promoting positive body image.
The group, which is comprised of eight girls aged 12-16, aims to teach young women healthy attitudes towards nutrition, fitness and fashion.
Among the activities on offer is a first aid course, a cooking day and a pampering session with the Body Shop. All lessons include a healthy lunch.
The workshops will be run using part of a $4500 Brumby Government Positive Body Image grant recently awarded to the girls.
Girls Together began in September 2007 as a response to what the group says is a ‘one size fits all’ approach to physical perfection.
“It’s all about getting people to realise that everybody is different,” said group member Jess Hardy.
Girls Together invites 11-16-year-old girls to attend free activities at Coonara Community House, 22 Willow Road, Upper Ferntree Gully.
Bookings must be made by phone on 9758 7081 or visit ww.girlstogether.wikispaces.com for more information.
