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 games nights.
Since August 2016, these nights have been a staple at the Victoria Park Community Centre, fostering connection and community among attendees.
