Together we have survived one of the greatest challenges our community has seen. Now we are looking to the future and asking people to be part of making the ‘new normal’ in Torbay better and even more beautiful than before - Join us to help your neighbours

COVID-19 infection frequently leaves people feeling tired and weak, with shortness of breath and muscle pain performing simple tasks. Many also feel anxious or even depressed. Recovery can take longer than expected, and it can feel like you’ll never get back to normal. Listen to your body to help you find the right balance between rest and activity while you get better.
