We Care Day returns in 2016

05 Jul 2016

The 4th annual We Care Day is to be held on Saturday 8 October 2016 from 9am – 3pm at Brelsford Park in Coffs Harbour. The day will kick off with a Wheelchair Sports basketball competition hosted by Paralympian Ryley Batt OAM, involving local dignitaries and sports people living with a disability.

Festival goers will be entertained by local performers on the main stage as well as enjoy a headline performance from ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ grand finalist Singer Matt McLaren who has been blind since birth. Up and coming contemporary country trio Victoria Avenue will return to Coffs to perform on the day as well.

The C.ex children’s zone will again feature a jumping castle, petting zoo, mechanical bull and surfboard rides as well as face painting. Steve the Reptile Man may come along on the day too.

The ever popular ETC Youth Zone and Arts Hub will return with new activities and Wheelchair Sports NSW will host all day “come & try” sporting activities. Food and market stalls will circle the site and clubs and groups are welcome to come along and promote their wares.

Local aged care, health and disability service providers will be encouraged to join the day by booking a space in the information hub to promote how they are helping people on the Coffs Coast remain within the community and lead fulfilling lives.

The aim of the day is for people to come together in an inclusive and accessible space to enjoy a day that celebrates who we are and the great place we live in while potentially accessing organisations that may be able to offer support to enhance their lives.

More information on the day will soon be available at www.wecareday.com.au.
