Merger of KidsWish and The Disability Trust

It gives me great pleasure to announce that today we welcomed the KidsWish team who have joined with The Disability Trust in a merger of our two proud organisations. This merger sees a number of truly fabulous people joining The Disability Trust including highly skilled therapists, direct care and fundraising and events staff.

This merger will enable The Disability Trust to further build on our capacity to deliver early intervention supports to children and young people with disability and their families and we are committed to continuing and strengthening the range of group, sibling and family based quality services that KidsWish provides. Our organisations are very much aligned in our purpose and values and we are delighted that we will be able to provide exceptional supports for people living with a disability at all stages of life.
