More about Wests Tigers Healthy Homeless Program
The Wests Tigers Healthy Homeless Award gives an opportunity to homeless participants to improve their physical and mental health at an elite facility, being trained by top coaching staff.
This program breaks down the barriers of cost, accessibility and social issues by providing everything needed for these individuals to participate.
Not only has this had a positive impact on the physical and mental health of participants, but it has also re-introduced skills to their lives such as leadership, discipline, motivation and communication which will help them in terms of employment, study and other areas of life.
