This project aims to improve access to safe and inclusive physical activity for transgender people living in the Whanganui region.
Many transgender individuals face barriers to participating in physical activity due to concerns about safety and a lack of supportive environments. Through this project, we will work closely with the transgender community to co-design physical activity options that are safe, welcoming, and accessible.
The goal is to enhance mental health and wellbeing for transgender people by providing them with opportunities to engage in physical activity in a supportive space. We will collaborate with general practices and local sports and recreational services to ensure these options are sustainable and available for the community in the long term.
This project seeks to promote health equity and improve the overall wellbeing of transgender people in Whanganui.
