YWCA Encore program
Just checked the YWCA site and from what I have seen Encore seems to be a dimishing program in all bar NSW .Probably funding is the issue but a great pity as think it has meant a lot to many in recovery from breast cancer.There are no dates up for Qld , SA and ACT. Victoria doesn’t even get a mention.Anyone heard anything ?

- I emailed for the program in Qld as I’m interested in this now I am post surgery. Haven’t heard anything back as yet. Will have to follow up next week.

- I completed the Encore program in Sydney CBD last year and was told that to run the program they need a specific number of new members to sign up each time. I was asked if I would be willing to re-enrol to add to numbers once they had reached their quota as they also have to have specific numbers to get their guest speakers to attend. I'm sure that this has an impact on running their courses.
- I haven't been able to get information on a program in the ACT since I finished treatment 2 years ago
- @Romla I would give them a call I think the link for SA has not been updated. I have put the info for SA here to save you going to get it again.

Please note that programs will only commence if there is enough interest. If you would like more information about the YWCA of Adelaide and their programs they can be contacted by phone on 08 8203 9400, email at [email protected] or through their website - Yes NSW I think has state gov financial support so it is offered at 40 locations I think including in regional areas - sadly SA had only 3 with 1 regional but doesn’t look like there are any courses running atm.
- Our local one in Bathurst NSW runs regularly....I know they train at various times most run by volunteers
