Recent speaker at a club meeting was Helen Donovan Councillor for South Ward of Adelaide City Council. Helen spoke about her work as a councillor, gave us an insight into the workings of the council and her role within the local community, which she enjoys very much.
Helen is a practising behaviour change psychologist and wants Council to consider impacts of decisions on mental health and wellbeing at every level of policy and decision making.
Our club greatly appreciates Helen's support. She's also the ED of Walking SA and keeps us up to date with new developments....there's always something new happening at Walking SA.
Helen encouraged us to undertake the walking checklist from the Heart Foundation and was interested to learn the outcome of our Steptober fundraiser last year. Our participating club members walked 1,687,919 steps during October and some of us included our steps in the local 2020 Walktober event, which was organised by Walking SA.
