Join the Circle of Inclusion

The "Circle of Inclusion" project is an exciting initiative developed by Broome Circle.

Aimed at creating meaningful volunteering opportunities for individuals with disabilities. By fostering a more inclusive and accessible volunteer landscape, this project seeks to empower those with diverse abilities, allowing them to contribute their unique skills and perspectives to their communities. Through partnerships with local organisations, NDIS providers and a deep commitment to accessibility, the "Circle of Inclusion" project will work to break down barriers and ensure that volunteering is a rewarding and fulfilling experience for all.
