Easter Joy at ‘Our House’ as Families Celebrate Inclusion and Fun

Building for the Future’s inclusive play centre, Our House, was full of colour, laughter, and chocolate this Easter as 33 children and 16 families came together to celebrate at a joyful Easter party, made possible by generous supporters and dedicated volunteers.

“The Easter party was great,” said Nicki Mitchell, Centre Manager at Our House, who put a lot of effort into planning and running the event. “We had 33 kids and 16 families,” she added.

Thanks to the kindness of the community, the event was a resounding success. Supporters Wilmott Dixon donated a mountain of Easter eggs, while the ladies from St Nicholas Church Emmbrook brought in fruit, crisps, and other party essentials to keep everyone fuelled for the fun.

The children enjoyed a range of Easter-themed activities including arts and crafts, face painting, and an egg hunt with a twist—each child had to find a hidden cardboard egg and hand it to the Easter Bunny to claim a chocolate one.

With the sun shining, families were able to enjoy the garden too, making it a perfect springtime celebration.

At Building for the Future, events like this are a powerful reminder that Our House is a place where disabled children and their families are not just welcomed, but celebrated.
