While the Paralympics were in full swing in Paris, we had the chance to cheer on our own athletes right here in the Hunter.
The Mutual Bank was thrilled to partner with Active Inclusive and Good Shepherd Support Services for a special Disability Community Day on Wednesday September 4.
The day was designed to allow people living with a disability to come together and enjoy a day of fun whilst participating in some sporting activities.
Around 200 participants took part in the event at No. 2 Sportsground in Newcastle, taking part in some fun events along with sports such as golf and touch football.
The event was free for participants and included:
- A free barbecue and drinks for competitors
- Zumba Dance Sessions by Healthy Change Challenge
- Facepainting
- Sports round robin
- Appearance by some of the Newcastle Knights
- Face Painting
- Lucky door prizes, raffles
- Craft stations
- Certificate ceremony
Proceeds from the day support the Susan Roskell Toy Drive and the Sione Foundation.
