Over the years we have run several family fun days. Moving forward we plan to hold a number of smaller events that help meet the needs of families living with ADHD. We aim to create a fun day for families and friends and build a sense of belonging and community in a supportive environment.
The ADHD Family Fun Day aims to bring together families from across the Illawarra to connect, celebrate and raise awareness around a disorder that is often misunderstood and overlooked. The target audience is men, women, children, carers and families who are affected by or supporting someone wuth ADHD or similar disorders.
The next event is scheduled for Saturday 26 February 2022, from 10am to 2 pm at Integral Energy Park, Dapto. The number of guests is estimated to be anywhere between 200 and 500 people.
A key message of the fun day remains family and wellbeing, building friendships and supporting people living with ADHD. Families will have the opportunity to interact, share strategies and experiences with each other, all while having a much needed day out.
The Fun Day involves:
Stalls for information and support for parents
Rides such as jumping castles, laser tag, obstacle courses
Sensory stalls and games
Discos, crafts,
Face painting
Ice cream and sausage sandwiches
Fire trucks and St John’s Ambulance
Singing and dance performances
Various presentations throughout the day
