Learning, Care and Safety
The Liberty Swing
The Liberty Swing,
installed last year in
nearby Dunbar Park,
provides new leisure
and movement
opportunities for the
people at Minimbah.
Thank you to the
Premier’s Dept of NSW
for meeting the costs
of installation and to
the friends of
Minimbah for
purchasing the swing.
The swing is much
enjoyed by Robbie and
other clients.
Doggie Rescue
Minimbah has become a regular supporter of Doggie Rescue at
Ingleside Shelter. We volunteer our time to exercise the dogs in the
shelter.
Monika’s Doggie Rescue is a private registered charity that believes in
saving and re-homing as many dogs as they can from council pounds.
So far they have rescued and re-homed over 9000 dogs.
Our clients particularly the Pearl Group visits Ingleside Shelter every
Tuesday. Clients are encouraged to exercise a dog with a lead. Its a
great activity to involve clients in a worthy cause. Both clients and their
canine friends benefit from the exercise but more importantly they get
to also enjoy the bond and cuddles that they receive from each other.
A New Deck
Minimbah has received good news from the State Member of
Parliament for Ryde, Mr Victor Dominello. Our application for funding
from the NSW Governement for a new deck to be built in the gardens
has been successful.
The new deck will be built in the gardens overlooking Dunbar Park. The
deck will be wheelchair accessible and have a soft fall surface.
The deck will provide many benefits to clients. It will also provide an
attractive area to entertain visitors to Minimbah.
