the Great Bike Hike
Website: www.greatbikehike.org.au
The Group is the proud sponsor and partner organisation of The
Great Bike Hike - supporting projects for the benefit of people
with disability and mental illness in local communities en route
from Perth to Broome Sunday 19th August to Saturday 15th
September 2012.
This major project incorporates principles of the Disability
Services Commission initiative 'Count Me In' Future
Directions Strategy launched in 2009. "The strategy is of
critical importance to developing a Western Australia which
embraces and enacts the vision for all people to live in welcoming
communities that facilitate citizenship, friendship, mutual support
and a fair go for everyone"
The Great Bike Hike will forge a trail of positive
community events to enhance inclusion, awareness and facilities for
people with a disability as the intrepid group of cyclists weave
their way through townships between Perth and Broome.
The 'Hike' will provide a focal point for townships along its
length to celebrate their achievement of specific projects for the
benefit of people with a disability in the community.
