Tired of travelling in order to make the active choice the easy choice?

Look no further!  Way2Go is a project aiming to increase the physical activity levels of the regions residents in their communities – with a focus on those who are aware they should be active but currently are not.

Way2Go’s Key Objectives:

  • Provision of low impact physical activity opportunities
  • Remove barriers to participation

Nelson Way2Go Cluster:

Three organisations are working together as the Nelson Way2Go Cluster, offering a range of physical and nutritional activity programmes in Nelson called ‘making the active choice the easy choice’.  The organisations are Saxton Stadium, Tahunanui Community Centre and Victory Community Centre – deliver diverse programmes to their communities.  The organisations work to develop activities to meet the needs of these communities using staff, paid tutors and volunteers to deliver them.

It offers Super Saxton Class, No More Mummy Tummy, Shape Up classes plus Walking & Social groups, Tai Chi Course, Table Tennis.  For further information phone Sport Tasman team (03) 538 0072 or drop into 142 Saxton Road East.

Tahunanui Community Centre is a vibrant, growing community hub that assists Tahunanui to thrive by connecting local people, and being a catalyst for positive locally-led action and change.  To provide opportunities for people to connect through sharing interests and activities, the Community Centre currently hosts activities and events including book groups and family events.  There is a monthly morning garden group and a regular community garden group.  New activities are being added all the time, in response to what residents would like to offer, be involved in or organise.  The Centre also provides some food assistance.  A meeting room is available for hire, as is the preschool for children’s parties.  Tahunanui Community Centre also provides links, information and support for people to engage in or lead wider community events and activities.  For more information call into the centre at 61 Muritai Street.
