Community Champion Roslyn walks the talk

Our newest Community Champion, Roslyn Greener, has been coordinating a Central Coast women’s walking group called Walkie Talkies every Friday for over 22 years through the Peninsula Women’s Health Centre. 

Roslyn’s walking program encourages women to explore the Central Coast’s tracks and trails while enjoying exercise, connection and community. Excursions are also arranged to walking locations in Sydney and Newcastle and the group often walks during Christmas and other holiday times when women can feel particularly vulnerable and isolated.

Since its inception, hundreds of women have walked and talked with Walkie Talkies, finding camaraderie and friendship, while improving their physical and mental health. 

Roslyn also volunteers for many other charities and community groups, including coordinating weekly morning tea catch-ups for breast cancer survivors. She does all of this with humility, never seeking acknowledgement, and is driven by her strong sense of community and desire to support other women.

Our Central Coast Community Champion initiative honours people who, through exceptional effort and commitment, make a difference to the lives of others.

I’m sure you’ll agree that Roslyn is a very worthy Community Champion, and she has our gratitude and appreciation.
