Can you pls share this on your Facebook page, email network, friends and family. The You+Me=Community festival gives people of all abilities the opportunity to hang out with each other and have fun. It is to show that we have people with a disability in our community who would like to feel welcome in their community. It is... to show that people with a disability can be active citizens and should be treated as such. There are many activities to enjoy, we even have a crane donated for the day which we intend to use in the You+Me Challenge. All activities are accessible for all in some way. There are also heaps of opportunities for you to connect with service providers and community groups, hang out with your friend. make new friends, have fun, eat good food, have a coffee, etc etc. In short, we LOVE to see you there!
