Peer support playgroup

This week we were very pleased to make a new connection with Reclink at ACC. You might have heard of them from the community footy day that they run every year at Victoria Park (I hadn’t but my husband knew them!).

Anyway, such lovely people! Super committed to improving lives through sport.

Our Federal MP Ged Kearney facilitated the new relationship and the outcome was a whole lot of new sporting equipment going to the families and children in our MyTime Peer Support Playgroup. This playgroup is facilitated by Sue who is a social worker and Gianna who spends time keeping the children busy each week so their parents can have some downtime to chat with Sue. This playgroup is an opportunity for families that have more on their plate than average to come along and get some help. In the last year the playgroup, which has been going for many years, formed a new partnership with Downs Syndrome Victoria.

If you, or anyone you know could benefit from this playgroup please get in contact with us! Don’t hesitate.

And … here’s some photos of when they came to visit. Thanks Ged. Thanks Brendan. Thanks Sue. Thanks everyone involved.
