The Liverpool Seniors Well-being and Social Group started back on Tuesday 30th January at Lurnea Community Hub with our regular Gentle Exercise class, an active and engaging physical activity session led by an Exercise Physiologist from our partner organisation Healthstin. The Liverpool Seniors Program runs thrice weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during school term. We have now reached over 90 registered participants in 2024. In 2023 we reached a total of 1222 attendances over 73 sessions.

In an important event that marked a pivotal step towards transforming Western Sydney's physical landscape, Collective Leisure convened the WSYD Moving Symposium on 16th November 2023.

Held at the state-of-the-art Blacktown Exercise Sports and Technology Hub (BEST), this Symposium was the first official event at the impressive $100 million facility, championing a cause crucial to the region - the reduction of physical inactivity and inequalities.

In 2016, my journey into system leadership began during studying a MBAx in Social Impact at UNSW, sparked by an inspiring article titled "The Dawn of System Leadership" by Peter Senge, Hal Hamilton, & John Kania. This article emphasised the need for system leaders to drive collective action to address society's most complex challenges.

Two years ago, I launched a podcast series called Part of the System with the goal to chat with people and organisations that are part of the wider sport and physical activity system across Australia, New Zealand, England and America, through a well-being and systems lens.
