Healthy change is being promoted across the Whanganui community and in order to encourage and support this change to reach more people, Healthy Families Whanganui Rangitīkei Ruapehu (WRR) have developed a local video.
The video showcases some of the things that are happening and provides examples of opportunities others might look to explore.
The team from Healthy Families WRR contracted local production company Lamp Studios to capture stories from Live, Learn, Work, and Play settings across the region.
Filming was done over a period of three weeks including Ruapehu and Rangitīkei.
The video provides real life examples from schools, kohanga reo, marae, workplaces, churches, sports clubs and interest groups and features many local faces from children right up to kaumatua.
There are examples of smokefree workplaces, water-only schools, alcohol free events, growing healthy food and encouraging physical activity.
