Get ready for a night of fun 🎉, friends 👫, and friendly competition! 💪

About the 🎲 board games night 🌃
Just two weeks after launching Activate Mental Health, founder Rahul Seth took the stage at a Vic Park Collective crowdfunding dinner in Victoria Park. His passionate pitch paid off, securing $890 in funding.
Demonstrating his commitment to the broader mental health community, Rahul donated 25% of the funds to another local charity. With the remaining amount, he purchased a collection of board games, laying the foundation for Activate's monthly board game nights.
Since August 2016, these nights have been a staple at the Victoria Park Community Centre, fostering connection and community among attendees.

- Morning walk around Kent Street WeirCanning River Cafe, Wilson
I’m hosting a short walk around Kent Street Weir this Sunday before our Coffee and Chat event at 12:30 pm at San Churro’s East Victoria Park.
We will meet at the front of Canning River cafe and do a 3.7km walk that is known as the Butterflies, Birds and Bridges trail. You can see the path here on AllTrails.
I will bring lunch from home and eat at the park before heading to the Coffee and Chat event.
The forecast at the time of publishing this event (24th September 2025) is a maximum of 22 degrees with 25% chance of 1mm rain, so it might be a bit cold.
