Conference

Plumtree, Kindred and Now & Next are excited to host the 6th Family Conference – Becoming part of the community: taking steps towards inclusion.

A trip into the community is a wonderful experience to discover the world and have fun, but inclusion can be a challenge for families of children with a disability. How can you create the same opportunities to do things that other children do on a day out?

Join us online!

Plumtree, Kindred and Now & Next are excited to host the 6th Family Conference – Becoming part of the community: taking steps towards inclusion 

 

Held online, the conference brings together families of children with disabilities and their allies. It aims to inspire, educate and empower families in building a good life and celebrate people with a disability who are making a difference in their community.
