An innovative idea to increase health and wellbeing across Gilgandra has just received funding, meaning the ‘Gilgandra Gets Goin’ – Have a Crack Challenge’ will soon be underway.
Last week, the Western NSW Local Health District’s (WNSWLHD) Health Promotion team announced Gilgandra as one of the two finalists for the 2025-26 Building Healthy Communities Challenge, which will run between 1 September 2025 and 3 April 2026.
This second edition of the Building Healthy Communities Challenge aims to empower towns with fewer than 5,000 people to take control of their health by providing funding and assistance to implement a community-led health initiative.
