We are very proud of our respite program, where once a month a number of our volunteers visit the My Home Disability Centre, which is based at Birrong in Sydney’s south west. This respite centre is designed to allow families and other unpaid caregivers of those with a disability to have much deserved and much needed, planned breaks and our volunteers feel privileged to spend quality time with the short-term residents, who are all aged 18 years or older. We love engaging with the participants, whether it’s cooking meals for them, playing games, entertaining or otherwise interacting with them. As Brothers In Need continues to expand its great work in the community, it’s our intention to become involved with several other respite venues.
