My absolute favourite thing in the whole world is hanging out with other wheelchair users. There is something conspiratorial about this particular joy, something brazen about how much space we take up...Apologies to anyone trying to access our website at the moment - we appear to be having some trouble with it! We will have it back up and running as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience!
One week and $4,178 to go to reach our fundraising goal!

👉Meeting Place Travel Scholarships: Meeting Place is the leading national forum for arts and disability.

The Award will be one $10,000 Annual Award/Scholarship that will contribute to leadership training and development, together with a mentorship aspect to support employment outcomes.
And if you needed another reason to donate - remember that all donations are tax deductible, and all donations made before 21 June will be doubled, thanks to Creative Partnerships Australia's Plus1 program.
