ealth foods supermarket Nu Life is celebrating 50 years of business in Horsham this year, supplying people with diet and lifestyle-specific items.

Eleven-year owner Steve Grose, with a lifelong interest in health food and a background in supermarkets and merchandising, prides himself on being able to supply people with raw, untouched, healthy foods. “It’s just a healthy supermarket really, you’ve got everything from bulk food, bulk home and personal care – complete retail ranges,” he said. “We have virtually every pantry food and supplement, sports and everything, and we also try to source particular foods for people. “That’s half of what we do, carefully selecting our range by request. “Invariably it’s going to stay on the shelf, because it’s filling a niche that we didn’t have, then you see how it sells from there. “That’s how we get a lot of products in and increase our range, it works out quite well from that aspect.” Mr Grose said the size of the store was limiting, but he was planning on renovating later this year. “It is really hard, crammed into a tiny little shop, but later this year I’ll be knocking out a wall to open up the retail section a bit. It just needs a bit more planning,” he said. “But it’s working well as it is; we style ourselves with a more homely approach. “Primarily, it’s about helping people, that’s where we’re at.” Nu Life, at 50A Pynsent Street, sources quality foods from as-local-as-possible suppliers, with people able to choose from ANNIVERSARY YEAR: Nu Life is celebrating 50 years of business in Horsham this year, with small, self-serve amounts to buying in bulk. owner Steve Grose actively involved for the past 11 years.

eople can find support to stay longer in their own homes, right their holiday eating wrongs, and find support groups, among Rural Northwest Health’s services. Assisting people across the Warracknabeal, Hopetoun and Beulah areas, the service offers a range of medical specialists and wellbeing programs. Health promotion co-ordinator Tif Devasia said staff were pleased to help people take control of their health and wellbeing this year. “Whether you’ve made a new year’s resolution, or the time has come to take charge of your health and wellbeing, 2025 can be the year you thrive,” she said. “If you’ve over-indulged over the holidays, or would just like to get healthy, our dietitians can guide you on making healthier choices for longterm health.” The service also offers a social activity program for people over the age of 65, for connection over coffee, cards, cooking, bowls, bingo and lunch. “All our services are aimed at helping people of all ages retain their independence and connection – as part of our planned activity groups for a social outlet, or as part of our cancer support group which, through shared experiences, helps members navigate the cancer journey,” Ms Devasia said. The service also employs occupational therapists, podiatrists, physiotherapists, radiographers, speech pathologists, diabetes educators, social workers and asthma educators, while providing wellbeing for cardiac and dementia patients. Community care offers domestic assistance, centre-based meals, meals-on-wheels, personal care and property maintenance so people can stay in their homes longer, or during times of shortterm injury or illness. “If you’re eager to make 2025 your year and would like to find out more, please give our friendly team a call,” Ms Devasia said.
