We at the Rural Support Trust know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping up with everything. Finding time for exercise and healthy eating can often be really hard.

We also know that rural women juggle more than their fair share, and with Covid and Drought thrown in, the past year has been a bit of doozy.

So this lunch is on us!

Get the kids out the door, the washing on the line, sort the animals and leave your gumboots at the door.

Carpool with your neighbouring rural women and come have lunch with us, pick up tips and tricks from our three inspirational speakers, catch up with friends and enjoy some time off farm.

We’ll be all done well before school pick up.

This event is FREE and numbers are limited so register today!
