Find out what services and community organisations there are in our region at the Central West Community Expo on Wednesday 6 September, hosted by Orange City Council’s Community Services team.
More than 90 service providers from across the Central West, including Orange, Cabonne, Bathurst and Cowra will gather under one roof to show members of the community what services they can access.
Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair, Cr Mel McDonell said the COVID-19 pandemic had disrupted many social and community connections for Central West residents.
RECONNECT: The Central West Community Expo encourages community members to reconnect with services to improve their quality of life, wellbeing and social networks.
“A lot has changed in the last couple of years and many members of the community may not be aware of the wide range of services out there now,” Cr McDonell said.
“This is an opportunity to raise awareness of the services available and help members of the community to re-establish those connections that can help improve their quality of life, wellbeing and social networks.”
Service providers and organisations at the expo will represent a wide cross-section of the community from health, education employment and housing to disability services, aged care, government, legal, social and lifestyle groups.
These will include Revenue NSW, Food Relief, Services Australia, Centrelink and Breastscreen NSW, while other features of the day will be free health checks, free birth certificates for eligible people, a coffee van and a free barbecue.
The Central West Community Services Expo will be held from 10am to 2pm on Wednesday 6 September in the Orange PCYC, 2-10 Seymour Street.
