Bookings are essential and can include one carer. If you have any specific dietary requirements, you’re welcome to bring your own food.
Why?
When a person’s disability involves mobility impairment, they often experience increased physical and social isolation. A 2022 report by the AIHW indicates that 40% of people aged 15-64 living with physical disability feel excluded from their local community. We want to offer individuals living with physical/mobility disability an opportunity to come together in their community, learn more about their region, and establish connections with others.
