The event aims to showcase what is on offer in our community and to promote social inclusion and healthy living.

“The Living Well Expo is an annual event that has been running since 2015,” said Paul Tracey, Project Officer, Blue Sky Community Services.

“Led by Blue Sky Community Services and Lifetime Connect, a group of passionate local community sector workers
coordinate the Expo, providing their time and expertise to host the day.

“They do this because they understand that getting the right support at the right time is vital for people who are managing ongoing challenges that come with ageing and disabilities.”

At the Living Well Expo you can hear from guest speakers, take part in fun activities, and find a range of local services all under the one roof.

“It is a great opportunity to speak with service providers and discuss the benefits and assistance they provide,” Paul said.

The event will kick off with a Welcome to Country from Uncle Richard Widders of the Garlambirla Coffs Harbour Aboriginal Elders group, followed by an opening address by Deputy Mayor Cr Sally Townley.

Guest speakers at the event include Commissioner Robert Fitzgerald from AM NSW Ageing and Disability Commission, Diane Greenup of the Aboriginal Liaison Carers Gateway Service, Laura Daley from Coffs Coast Autism, and Jenni Harding, an ACT! Project Officer with Meals on Wheels NSW.
