25.01.2022 It has never been so important to keep ourselves healthy and our bodies active. Westhaven participants have been keeping active in many ways. Phoebe has kept up her exercise walking 5km most days. Brian has been enjoying the outdoors at home using the exercise bike and Daniel and Matthew have been relaxing with afternoon walks. #stayhomestaysafe #westhaven #choice #disabilityawareness #disabilitynsw #livehowyouchoose

13.01.2022 It is with great sadness that today we farewell long time Westhaven participant Matthew White. ‘Matty’ was a much loved member of the Westhaven community for over 48 years. Matty began his journey with Westhaven as a 6 year old boy attending the Westhaven School before transitioning into employment and accommodation services in his teenage years. He was always a smiling face around Westhaven Business Services. Matty will be sadly missed by all at Westhaven. ... Our thoughts are with Matty’s family and friends at this time.
