What a year! It鈥檚 been great having residents attend our programs and for us to see many new faces and watch residents develop their skills and achieve their goals. We appreciate your ongoing feedback which informs how we run our programs.
Our Resident Wellbeing and Personal Development Survey, included with the December resident newsletter, is an effective way for you to let us know what programs you would like to see. We encourage all residents to complete the survey.
We are excited for the New Year and the return of annual programs such as our Scholarship Program, as well as new programs and projects which will be informed by you. Further details for each program following will be communicated early next year. You鈥檙e welcome to contact our team to ask questions.

No Place Like 秀秀直播 art exhibition
Our No Place Like 秀秀直播 art exhibition is back next year and will begin accepting applications in the middle of the year! We accept any type of art, including sculpture and video, however there are rules for the size and weight of the artwork. Dates and full details will be communicated in the March 2023 newsletter. Maybe you would like to start an artwork over the summer ready for the exhibition!
Drop-in Sessions
We will be running our Drop-in Sessions again in 2023 and we are excited to expand the sessions based on your feedback. Like this year, the sessions will be held four times throughout the year at the following locations: Lithgow, Lawson, Penrith, Hornsby, Pennant Hills, Ryde, North Sydney, Richmond and Riverstone.
Tenant Advisory Group (TAG) and Committees
Our one TAG for Link Wentworth has contributed greatly this year, providing their voice on community programs, policies and procedures, communications, new developments, and much more. The quarterly TAG meetings are a forum for any resident to attend, ask questions and have input on Link Wentworth鈥檚 services and a variety of projects.
Our first TAG meeting for 2023 is Tuesday 14 February 10.30am – 1:00pm. The meeting dates for the rest of 2023 are 9 May, 11 July and 3 October. The meetings will be run online via Zoom and the link details are the same for each meeting. Access the Zoom link at the time of the meeting or contact our team by phone or email (details above) if you would like to attend a meeting at our Chatswood or Penrith office. Zoom details were provided in the December resident newsletter.
As a member of TAG, you can participate in committees that cover areas of interest such as the Policy Committee where you can provide direct feedback on policies and key resources. This year, members of the Policy Committee have provided feedback for a number of policies which impact residents.
We also want to know if anyone is interested in joining a Community Activities Committee which could plan social activities for residents.
Digital Discoveries
We run digital classes for our residents with the aim of improving knowledge and skills to help residents feel confident and safe online. Though some classes are specifically for residents aged 55 years and older, others are open to all. Please get in touch if you would like to improve your digital skills. We want to know if any residents in Hornsby who are 55 years and older would be interested in attending digital classes in early 2023. Contact our team by phone or email (details above) if you would be interested in attending.
