PARTICIPANTS of Endeavour Group Port Stephens have partnered with the Soldiers Point Bowling Club
to invite the local community to a fun and inclusive bingo program that is tailored to individuals
living with a disability.
Endeavour Bingo is a social day developed entirely by the participants of Endeavour Port Stephens
and will be held at the Soldiers Point Bowling Club on the second Thursday of every month.
Endeavour Port Stephens Disability Support Worker Tori Abbott said Endeavour Bingo was
developed to encourage a fun and social gathering for not only disability service providers, but also
members of the Port Stephens community.
“It’s all about inclusion; getting our participants together to meet new people and enjoy a day out
with local the community.”
By developing Endeavour Bingo, Endeavour Group participants have had the opportunity to design
the format of the day, coordinate with the club and will build on their public speaking and social
skills by hosting the bingo sessions.
“The experience has been a great way for our participants to build their work skills, as well as their
self confidence” Tori said.
“The Soldiers Point Bowling Club has been incredibly supportive of this new initiative, helping us to
promote inclusion within the local community” she said.

they can to ensure Endeavour Bingo is a success for the local community.

this fantastic initiative,” Sam said.

the activities”.
