The newsletter starts with dance classes and a concert, First Flight Crew, three wheelchair events (including the Wheelchair Tennis Open), two film festivals, the Sculpture by the Sea tactile tours, free colouring-in at the Art Gallery of NSW, Riverside Theatre’s program and a Northern Beaches youth event. Parents and carers can attend male cooking class, morning tea, IT workshops. Carers of people with mental illness (especially those who hear voices) have several activities. There is a new chat forum for siblings, and volunteer gardeners are needed.
Financial matters include fundraising for Fighting Chance, grants for individuals and organisations that support adults with high needs, and the Telstra connected program. Resources include a practical and comprehensive Artist Resource, information on supported accommodation and OHS changes, and Spinal Injuries Week. You are invited to participate in an online forum with Peter Garrett, register your events for IDPWD, take action for the NDIS Week of Action, and complete four surveys (older adults, adults with MS, NCOSS’ MSU, children transitioning to adult facilities).
There are two AGMs, the annual state meeting for day services and post school programs, an industry breakfast, the quarterly NDS regional meetings. Workshops address walking, depression, creative ageing, hearing voices, writing social stories, community safety, supporting students with intellectual disability in school. There is a reminder about the Accessing the Future conference, and a call for papers for the Roundtable on Print Disability.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome, as always! The next newsletter will be sent on 24 November.
