Best Buddies wins Disability Inclusiveness Award

Last night Best Buddies Australia won the 2009 City of Sydney Business Award for Disability Inclusiveness. The award was accepted by Buddy Director Hannah Croaker and Board member Michael Bartels, both of whom have an intellectual disability.

Best Buddies works with people who have intellectual disabilities, building one-on-one, mutually enriching friendships. The organisation is a leader in Social Inclusion. They provide a real and practical way for people to engage in the community, to volunteer and to demonstrate that we can all change the world, one friendship at a time.
 
Last night, Hannah Croaker delivered an inspiring speech demonstrating that we are all offered unique and powerful opportunities through the power of friendship.
