25.01.2022 We are exceptionally proud to announce that our Director, Simone, is a finalist in the Westfield Southland Local Heroes awards and recognition program. Voting opened today (Tuesday 25th August 2020) and will close 14th September 2020. Your (community) vote will determine the final 3 successful Westfield Southland Local Heroes who will each be awarded a grant of $10,000 for their affiliated organisation.... As you know, we have been unable to fulfill any fund-raising events this year. Your vote could set us on the path to $10,000! You can only vote once- its so easy, just go to the portal below and cast your vote. Could you also think about asking friends and family to vote. That amount of money could mean some fantastic additions to our centre, not the least of which would be improving our sensory room. We will be made aware of the winning candidate no later than 27 October 2020. Thank you to everyone and please, spare two minutes to vote! You only need to add your name and email address.
