The Disability Trust is delighted to announce our merger with Southern Sydney Trusted Care (SSTC) on January, 1, 2012. SSTC originated as an early intervention service in 1974 and has evolved today into a quality respite and recreation service that provides care in the Sutherland shire, Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale local government areas.

The Hon Andrew Constance and our 2010 Roll of Honour recipient Junee Waites performed the cutting of the ribbon to officially open the new Bega “Barracks” office on Friday 3rd December.

The first Friends of The Disability Trust Christmas Party for 2011 was held at the North Wollongong Hotel on Friday 2 December 2011 and was well supported by staff. The afternoon raised over $3,000 for Sport & Recreation Services. I would like to thank all the committee members of The Friends of the Trust for their support and certainly look forward to next year’s events starting off with Bare Foot Bowls! The group have a fundraising target of $120,000 and hope to raise enough money for a bus.
