19th November, 2025.
We had such a delightful evening at the Challenge Southern Highlands Gala Dinner in support of the Welby Garden Centre, held at Centennial Vineyards. It was wonderful to attend alongside Carol Berry MP, Member for Whitlam. The night was a heartfelt celebration of community, dignity, kindness, and opportunity, a reminder of the importance of giving everyone the chance to thrive. Challenge Southern Highlands and Welby Garden Centre embody these values beautifully. Their work helps people of all abilities grow in confidence, purpose, and pride. You could really see the effort the team put in to make the night such a success, huge thanks to Aaron Malouf, Emily Sinclair, Wayne Kidd, Justin Longhurst, and the entire team for their hard work, dedication and impact. The speeches were truly inspiring, with Barry Du Bois, TV Presenter and R U OK? Ambassador, and Ange Clarke from Moonacres School sharing powerful and moving stories of resilience, emphasising the importance of dignity, empathy, community, and kindness. And a big thank you to Nat and her hardworking team at Centennial Vineyards for a beautiful dinner and warm hospitality. Everyone Living With A Disability Has The Chance To Thrive.
