Further Funding for Lifestart School Age Services in Northern Sydney

DADHC advised at the end of February that Lifestart School Age Services in Northern Sydney will receive further funding from the NSW Government to continue providing services to children 6 -18 until at least June 2008.

Bob Dewstow, Lifestart’s CEO stated “although we receive Government monies these do not cover the cost of providing the service to these special children and their families – the Sportsman’s Lunch is one of our primary fundraising events and thus crucial to the provision of our services.”

Lifestart will also be focusing on the NSW Government “Stronger Together” program to enhance services to these children over the next 3 -5 years.

    That’s great news for families. However there is so much still to do before Lifestart gets the public funding and support it deserves. There is nothing to replace it for autism on the Northern side of Sydney.
