At first glance, sewing might not be an activity you’d expect at a leisure centre. Yet, every Tuesday and Thursday, Whitlam Leisure Centre transforms into a vibrant haven where up to ten women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds gather—not just to sew, but to build confidence, improve English and form meaningful connections. The Mama Africa Program also supports mental well-being, combats isolation and empowers women with life skills like water safety and swimming. Plans for January include cooking, road safety and digital literacy.
