Scope to host all abilities disco in Mittagong this month

The NDIS provider in the Highlands that was previously called Disability Services Australia, will host the event on August 19, at Mittagong RSL.

The service supports people with disabilities and gives them the chance to participate in community activities, make and strengthen relationships, learn new skills and build their capacity to live independently.

"Our goal is to support people with disabilities to have a sense of belonging and community, and truly celebrate themselves and who they are," said Scope community engagement officer Mhari Paterson.

"We want as many people to join in the fun, and meet new friends at the disco."

There will be a DJ, prizes for best-dressed, finger food, tea and coffee, as well as alcohol and soft drinks at the bar.

The event is for people aged 18 and above, and is being hosted by the Moss Vale Scope team.

The doors open at 5pm.
