One Monday, 3rd August 2026 The Youth Hub staff joined the Groote Schuur Adolescent Centre of Excellence Women's Day Activity.

The day started with a movement session with personal trainer Mark(Lyra Southern Africa), at the GSH Wellness Hub. The session focused on the importance of finding time during day-to-day activities to incorporate exercise to and care for our bodies.

We were then invited to Beantree Cafe' GSH for a delicious breakfast filled with laughs and beautiful memories.

The day was even more memorable with a special gift exchange amongst colleagues, that was so thoughtful and so much fun!

All in all, a fabulous day of self-care for both the mind and body. Here's to us this Women's Month!
