HikeWest’s Community Hiking Program for culturally and linguistically diverse communities has wrapped up, and what a journey it has been!
Delivered in collaboration with a wide range of partners across the Perth metropolitan area, the program brought together 354 participants across 22 guided nature walks, with 77% of participants being women.
The program wasn’t just about hiking – it was about building connections, supporting wellbeing and creating inclusive opportunities for more people to experience the benefits of hiking in nature.
We’re especially proud to have worked alongside a number of organisations including:
- North Metro TAFE (Balga, Northbridge and Joondalup Adult Migrant English Program students and staff)
- Chung Wah Community Care
- Edmund Rice Centre WA
- Ishar Multicultural Women’s Health Service
- MercyCare Mirrabooka, and the City of Stirling.
A big thank you to the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport for funding this project through an Outdoors Active Recreation Grant.
