On Wednesday  25th August The Hon. Kristina Keneally launched the Lifestart Play for Kids project at Luna Park.

The Play for Kids project highlights the importance of play for connecting children with disabilities and their families and play for learning. The Play for Kids project is both an awareness and fundraising project.

The Premier also announced and extra $690,000 directed to Lifestart. The extra funding will mean Lifestart can provide 28 extra early childhood intervention places, including special education, therapy, information and referral services.

“The NSW Government is building an inclusive society that enables people with a disability to fulfil their potential,” Ms Keneally said.

“That’s why we support organisations such as Lifestart to build a brighter future for children with a disability and their families.

“The $690,000 in funding they will receive over the next three years will help them to help more children, giving them the best start in life.”
