13.01.2022 When the COVID-19 crisis hit South Australia, many of our 1300 clients chose to self-isolate and we were reluctantly forced to suspend a range of services - including our arts program and choir. However, we were determined to help clients pursue their love of the arts, feel optimistic about the future and have their divine voices heard. This is the result. Special thanks to the very talented music producer Josh Belperio

09.01.2022 Performing gives me a chance to show people that a person with a disability can get out there and do something. I have a chance to show people who are able bodied that anybody is capable of it. When Kym talks about the performing arts, his eyes light up and his smile broadens. Beginning his career in the arts almost 30 years ago, when Kym steps on the stage he is a comedian, an actor, a singer, a dancer. He has the freedom to be whoever he chooses to be. Help Kym chase his ...dreams by supporting our arts program. bedfordgroup.com.au/Christmas
