Supporting families with children and young adults with physical disabilities
September has been a busy month with lots of opportunities for us to get out and about. Felicity enjoyed her recent trip to Tauranga where she attended the Hei Awhi expo for disabled young adults and met with other service providers and families.
We also enjoyed attending the ATSNZ Disability Expo in Auckland. We are hoping to be able to visit our other regions before the end of this year.
We are excited to attend the Halberg Auckland Regional Games on the weekend of the 8th and 9th October. This is a great event for 8 – 21 year olds who can partipcate in a number of sports. We are looking forward to meeting with lots of families from across the region.
Our next grant funding round closes on 6th October and the last round for the year closes on 24th November. For more information about our grants, please visit our website at www.wilsonhometrust.org.nz
