Alvis has been coming along to our Coffs Harbour Life Skills program for 5 years. In that time, he’s made some great friends who he can truly be himself around.

Throughout the week they do everything together from dancing at Zumba, to playing bocce and having barbeque lunches. Having these meaningful connections is incredibly important for both health and happiness.

This year, the theme for World Down Syndrome Day is ‘Together Against Loneliness’. Loneliness is as bad for our health as smoking 15 ci******es a day, and people with Down syndrome are much more likely to face it.

The solution to this is real inclusion.

It’s about having good friendships and relationships. It’s the feeling of being valued and knowing you belong. This is a problem we can solve, and 'Together Against Loneliness' is the call to action.

In the late 1970s, Northcott organised a wide range of activities to ensure children could enjoy fun, social experiences alongside their therapy and education. Holiday programs, camps and outings gave children the chance to explore new places, meet friends and experience the joy of shared activities.

These experiences were made possible by dedicated staff, volunteers and community supporters who gave their time to organise camps, excursions and social activities. These moments created lasting memories and helped children build confidence and friendships.

Today, that same spirit continues through Northcott’s recreation programs, where young people can connect with others, try new experiences and build confidence. From sporting events and concerts to active outings like bowling or swimming, these programs help teens develop friendships, social skills and independence in a fun and supportive environment.

Because sometimes the most important growth happens when young people simply get the chance to have fun together: https://bit.ly/4aBUQUc

In the late 1970s at Margaret Reid Hospital, children with complex orthopaedic needs received specialised care designed to support their development, independence and wellbeing.

Doctors, therapists and nurses worked closely together to provide treatment tailored to each child. Orthopaedic specialists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists helped children strengthen mobility, develop everyday skills and build confidence for life beyond hospital care.

Children were supported not only medically, but emotionally and socially too. The hospital welcomed parents to stay during their child’s treatment, recognising the importance of family involvement. Play, learning and therapy were all part of daily life.

Today, Northcott continues this legacy through our Allied Health and Clinical Services, providing physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology and other specialist supports that help children build skills, increase independence and achieve their goals: https://bit.ly/4sJowq5
