Disability: It’s not a “bad thing”
Hannah knows people with a disability are not broken and do not need to be fixed. The community needs to stand up and say, 'this is not good enough'!
A legacy of volunteering
Every Wednesday since 1973, Vera and Margery arrived at House with No Steps (now Aruma) in Belrose, armed with baked good, to volunteer their time.
Self Advocacy = Speaking Up
Self advocacy is about speaking up for yourself and others, standing up for your rights and what you believe in, and giving a voice to people with a disability.
Meals from the heart
20 House with No Steps (now Aruma) employees and customers celebrated International Day of People with Disability volunteering at Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia.
James’ story
