REPORT - Kurrajong Waratah

The development of this dance piece was made
possible by the Phil and Joan Millard Trust Fund
established within Kurrajong Waratah by the
Millard family.
Skills Options in Wagga Wagga has benefitted
from having a variety of locations to work from
and this helps ensure people are spending their
day on projects and activities they like and with
people whose company they like. However, it
is important to note that not everyone is able to
cope with or wants a setting where there is group
support. Sometimes people require a service
where activities are accessed from their home or
they need a quieter setting as their base and we
endeavour to meet this need where we can.
Overall the clients and staff of Skills Options
Leeton, West Wyalong and Wagga Wagga have
had a very busy 12 months where much has been
achieved.
Thanks to all the staff, volunteers, clients, and
families and carers for all your support with
making things happen.
