Our Kentlyn residents have recently welcomed a new member into their home. Kitty has captured many hearts in the short time since he has moved in, bringing so much joy and happiness to residents and staff at Kentlyn 🐱

This year’s Sydney WorldPride celebration theme is ‘Gather, Dream, Amplify’ – a calling to LGBTQIA+ people from across the globe to honour our elders and communities, acknowledge our connections and empower each other to celebrate together in new ways.

The 2023 celebration is unique, as for the first time the Sydney Mardi Gras are hosting WorldPride. WorldPride is a global LGBTQIA+ festival that has been staged since 2000 with countries competing to host the event.

The Disability Trust wishes to extend to everyone a ‘Happy Mardi Gras’, especially those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our staff have been celebrating the diversity of our workforce and attending marches and parades at various locations.

Residents and staff in one of our Hunter homes have also created an artwork tracing and painting their hands. Those involved say this artwork represents all of us acknowledging and working together to create change in the lives of the Stolen Generation and their descendants.

In our Hunter Region, staff have finished creating an artwork for the office, acknowledging National Apology Day. Our Hunter staff have added their handprints to the canvas and reflected on why the Apology is important to them, stimulating those important conversations.

Monday 13th February was National Apology Day. This is an important day to reflect on the trauma suffered by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and mark the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations.

Gavin recently participated in the annual Bull Ride at the 2023 Cobargo Show Rodeo for the fifth year in a row. Gavin was definitely a crowd favourite, and as a result was awarded the Oscar Salway Memorial Buckle, donated by the Salway family. Congratulations Gav!
