Support a healthier and equitable Western Sydney
WSYD Moving is a Health Promotion Charity working to reduce inactivity and inequity across Western Sydney. We bring together councils, health, community organisations, and local leaders to create the conditions for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to be active, connected, and well.
40%+
of adults in Western Sydney are insufficiently active - compared to less than 30% in other parts of Sydney.
Your donation helps us continue this work — and grow it.
We're not just delivering activity. We're helping build the system that makes active lives possible.
Why your support matters
Western Sydney faces some of the highest levels of physical inactivity and health inequity in Greater Sydney.
We know this isn't solved by a single program or one organisation. It takes local collaboration, shared leadership, and coordinated action.
That's where WSYD Moving comes in, and why donor support matters. It gives us the independence to stay focused on the long view, not the next funding cycle.
Your support helps us:
Bring partners together across health, sport, community and local government
Turn ideas into coordinated local action
Support Local Active Partnerships in communities across Western Sydney
Strengthen systems leadership and collaboration
Build long-term change — not just short-term programs

Yes. WSYD Moving is a registered Health Promotion Charity (ACNC 001260746510). Donations of $2 or more may be tax-deductible in Australia. You'll receive an emailed receipt immediately for your records.
-
The majority of your donation goes directly into running our Local Active Partnerships, our programs, and into the Community of Practice that connects 600+ practitioners across the region. The remainder funds our research and advocacy work, and a deliberately lean operational footprint.
-
Systems change is long work. Monthly donations give us the predictability to invest in long-term partnerships, plan years ahead with councils, and avoid the funding cycles that fragment so much community work. Even $20 a month, sustained, has more impact than a single larger gift.
-
Of course. You'll receive a confirmation email with a link to manage or cancel your recurring donation at any time. There's no commitment beyond your next gift.
-
Absolutely. We work with organisations, councils, businesses and individuals through partnership, in-kind support, expertise sharing and bequests. Email us directly to talk through what fits.
