International Day of People with Disability 2023

Lithgow City Council invites the community to a morning of events and activities at Lithgow Library to celebrate the International Day of People with disability 2023. The event is to be held on Tuesday December 5 from 11.00am to 2.00pm.

There will be a sausage sizzle by LINC’s disability services team. Games and other activities will also be facilitated by local disability service providers.

International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is a United Nations observed day celebrated in early December each year. It is an opportunity to be part of creating an inclusive and diverse community for the 4.4 million Australians living with disabilities.

One in seven Lithgow citizens live with a disability. This includes children, siblings, parents, co-workers, friends, and partners. Lithgow City Council is committed to enabling all people to participate in every part of community life. This commitment is demonstrated in detail in Council’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan, which can be accessed via the Council website at    https://council.lithgow.com/community/
