Biggest morning tea

The YPLO Living Skills group hosted our Biggest Morning Tea event on the 17th of May. All of the food and beverages were made by members for our guests. We ended up serving more than 40 people at the event and raising $2435 for the Cancer Council through tickets, raffles and online donations.  The Cancer Council uses this money to research, support individuals receiving treatment, and educate the public on preventative measures. The feedback from everyone was so positive, our members enjoyed being a part of the event, from greeting people as they arrived to serving meals and drawing raffle tickets. YPLO would like to continue to host events where our members are able to plan and carry out tasks they enjoy. Having a role in these events has assisted members to try different jobs and tasks, learning new skills and confidence. Representation of people living with disabilities in meaningful roles within their community is important to all of us at YPLO, showcasing their talents is always at the forefront of what we do!
