Mission
Respite Recreation Support
NBI’s mission is to support and strengthen families caring for children and young people who have a disability, and to enable these young people to participate more fully in the community.
It provides services in the area of northern Sydney which offer respite and support networks for families, and recreational opportunities for young people. In doing this it aims to :
- Offer services which are responsive to individual and family needs;
- Assist these young people to develop positive social relationships;
- Foster supportive connections between families and across the community which strengthen families in their caring roles;
- Engage the wider community so that it is more aware of, and responsive to, the needs of young people with disabilities and their families;
- Make the experience of NBI an enjoyable one.
