'Sporting Chance' Forums

Ability Links NSW is a State Government-funded program delivered across the Hunter Central Coast region by the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW. We work with people with disabilities, their families and carers to identify and reach their goals and make links with community.We also work with community organisations, businesses, sporting & recreational groups and associations, to build their capacity to be more welcoming and inclusive of people with disabilities.Many of the thousands of people who engage with Ability Links each year are looking to play or become involved in recreational activities, and to make new friends and connections to like-minded peers through those activities.https://www.abilitylinksnsw.org.au/
