MCCI Refugee Support held its biggest social inclusion event of the year in November, with more than 170 community members attending the annual BBQ at Live Steamers.
"Events like these are so important. While young and old enjoyed the train rides, sausage sizzle and face painting on a stunning Illawarra spring day, this was about so much more," said MCCI Executive Operations Manager, Sarah Wilson.
"These events help foster a sense of belonging and connection for people who have recently arrived in the Illawarra, and give us another chance to listen to refugee families in a relaxed setting so that we can change and adapt the support we provide to meet their needs."
Thank you to the volunteers who provided support on the day, assisting with welcoming community members, serving food, and entertaining children with face painting and other fun activities.
Circus Monoxide provided entertainment and long-time supporters Rotary Club of Corrimal provided the BBQ and extra volunteers.
