Have you ever wanted to write the story of your family journey in disability?
We invite you to join us as Charles and Jo Hewlett share their family story, including the process of writing their book, "Hurting Hope" followed by our Annual General Meeting.
During the Hewlett's 40 minute presentation, there will be opportunities to ask questions and learn from their experiences of writing and sharing their very personal journey.
Attendees are also welcome to stay and attend Disability Connect Inc’s Annual General Meeting after the presentation. Hear about our services and advocacy, influencing positive change for disabled people and their families as we celebrate our mahi.
