Sign the kids up for Growing for Gold this spring!

Growing for Gold is a free program for young people aged 3-16 that provides an opportunity to have a go at new sport and recreational activities thanks to our local sporting clubs.

It's a great way for you to test out one of your local sporting clubs before your commit to joining for the season. Anyone who decides to join a club after participating in Growing for Gold will receive a $30 SportsPower voucher.

Visit gowingforgold.com.au to see what fun sport and recreational activities are in store for you across the cities of Playford, Salisbury and Port Adelaide Enfield.

50% of business who responded to the 2020 Playford Business Survey told us that they require assistance with developing or improving your brand.

The Stretton Centre has taken on board your feedback and partnered with Greg Kavanagh from Branded Culture to deliver two low-cost branding workshops on Wednesday, 9 September.

• 10 - 11.30am: Why brand is everyone's business (and not just a marketing thing)
• 1 - 2.30pm: An introduction into behavioural economics (and why consumers behave the way they do)

Well Spring has officially sprung and the Elizabeth Rise Community Centre in Elizabeth Downs is looking forward to brighter days.

The centre has some exciting school holiday plans so stay tuned for details on these! But in the meantime, check out the September timetable of activities, including the special edition of the butterfly house decorating workshop.

The Rise is also on the hunt for anyone with a green thumb to help support its upcoming community garden project.
