A feel good Friday post for you... Nic kicks two goals, in one! 🏉

Nicole, one of our long term PARC Team members, achieved a life-long dream last weekend. 

Nic has always wanted to play football, and last week, she not only achieved that dream, but kicked her first goal at her very first game! What made it even more special was who she shared it with. Her daughter Bella was her teammate on the field (you might recognise Bella from the PARC Cafe!), her son Billy was the proud goal umpire🌟

Nic is an amazing part of Team PARC, and an example that shows it doesn’t matter how old you are to start something new. If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, go for it, we are here to support you! Congrats Nic! 🩵
PARC is adding Healthy Life Years to Frankston 
The results from our Outcomes Survey are in! 

Thank you to all our members who completed our survey, we received some incredible feedback. Survey respondents told us that you see PARC as an essential part of your life to support your physical health, mental wellbeing and social connection. PARC also contributes to your long term quality of life. 

The survey found that our members experience:
❤️ A higher subjective wellbeing than the Australian population average
💪 Stronger health outcomes
😊 Greater lifestyle satisfaction 
🩵 Stronger sense of belonging
 
These results show us what we hear from you every day - PARC is much more than a pool or gym.
