Celebrating 30 Years Of Inclusion

intouch Magazine

Local NDIS and Disability Employment Service provider, Castle is celebrating 30 years of advocating for inclusion and diversity in the community.

 

The not-for-profit organisation was founded in 1991 with a mission to support disadvantaged members of the community to achieve their goals.


“The first step to overcoming the barriers people face with a disability is to raise awareness for inequality and promote inclusion. Together, we can ensure every member of our community has the opportunity to reach their full potential,” said Castle’s Executive Manager of Service Delivery, Karlie Lonergan.


Inclusion is a core value at Castle, with the team striving to educate the local community on the benefits of hiring a person with a disability through their Inclusive 100 campaign. Macka’s Sand and Soil have been working with Castle for over 12 years and believe their employment support is integral to their business's success.


“They take the time to drive out to Gloucester and meet with our staff to talk about how they’re going. Especially with the drought they were right here helping out,” said Macka’s CEO Robert McKenzie.


Castle also specialises in providing NDIS supports, with programs tailored to the unique goals of their participants. Castle’s NDIS program features a variety of flexible, individual and group programs suited for children, young people and adults.


These programs provide opportunities for participants to learn daily living skills like how to build relationships, participate in the community and live full and meaningful lives.


“My life has changed so much I was quiet and nervous before I came here and now, I perform. Castle is a great place for me,” said NDIS participant Sam Burns.


Castle are proud to service the Newcastle, Hunter and Central Coast regions and look forward to advocating for the inclusion of people with a disability for another 30 years. If you would like to learn more about what you can achieve with Castle, call 1300 817 917 or visit www.castle.org.au
