New Year Walk - Hyde Park (Supported by the Rotary Club of Northbridge)
"It's not every day you can get out in the open air and meet such a unique and diverse group of people who also just want to enjoy the simple things of life and have some real conversations, and a laugh along the way."
Activate Mental Health is proud to host its traditional New Year walk at Hyde Park, inviting both familiar faces and newcomers to join in this uplifting annual event. Since October 2025, we have been running a weekly walking group, generously supported by the Rotary Club of Northbridge, which has fostered a welcoming space for connection, conversation, and community spirit. This New Year walk is an excellent opportunity to start 2026 surrounded by great company, enjoy fresh air, and set a positive tone for the year ahead.
Please meet us at the corner of Glendower and Palmerston Street for a leisurely 3-lap stroll around the lakes, followed by a coffee catch-up at BOOtoo Cafe or the Meeting Place.

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.
