Move for Mental Health Funds to Break Down Transport “Barrier”

 

 

The October Move for Mental Health fundraising initiative has produced some incredible results. 

 

More than $66,000 has been raised for Bendigo Health’s mental health services by local residents. 

 

Bendigo Health fundraising advisory chair Dianne Foggo AM revealed the tens of thousands will fund a multi-purpose patient transport bus

 

“We know transport is often a barrier for many of our patients to participate in exercise – the multiple purpose bus will help to close that gap,” she said.
