Rest in peace Tony Mundine.

Yesterday we lost a legend.

It’s been so sad to hear about the passing of Uncle Tony Mundine. He was an absolute legend and left a lasting impact on so many around Redfern, and beyond.

Our condolences go out to the whole family. Please take care of each other during this tough time ❤️🙏🏿

A month on from our Redfern Community NAIDOC Festival and we’re just so grateful.

The courts were full, the food was flowing and the whole place was buzzing. It was so special having our Elders and the young mob, and everyone in between - all in one place celebrating! Even when it threatened to rain on our parade (literally), community still showed up with their family, friends and the energy 🔥

Thank you everyone who made the day so amazing. See you next year! ❤️💛🖤💙🤍💚✨

Happy National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day! ❤️💛🖤💙🤍💚

& check out these little legends carving it up in The Base at their fitness session with Young, Fit & Deadly program! 💪🏿🔥

At NCIE, we’re all about creating a safe space for movement, for every person who walks through our doors. But today, we’re especially grateful for the chance to celebrate and support our deadly kids. And we’re so thankful for the energy, joy and heart they bring to our centre and our community.

Watching these young ones build strength, confidence and connection alongside their mentors is what it’s all about. We’re proud to add a little more knowledge to their fitness journey. Because movement isn’t just about the body, it’s about wellbeing and building positive habits, while having a whole lot of fun along the way 🙂‍↕️

To all the jarjum: keep shining, little legends. We see you and we’re so proud of you 🫶🏿

Farewell Mark 🥲 after 12 years with us, Mark is hanging up his calculator and heading into retirement.

One of our OG crew, the comedic relief hire, and the guy who’d cheerfully help wherever help was needed - from programs van services to NAIDOC festival bump ins, all while making sure payday never missed a beat. We’ll miss you Mark. Enjoy the next chapter! 🌅👴🏻🎉🕺🏼
