"….which was a bit of a fun surprise"

Each and every month we like to bring you the news and views of those who make up our user-led team, Soul Fly Buddies.

For the month of March we hear from Nalyn, who tells us more about Gig Buddies’ catch ups and being called up for the Special Olympics.

"Earlier this year I went to the Gig Buddies Board Games night in Parramatta. There were a couple of new buddies who came along and we played Uno and I also learnt how to play a new game, it was a lovely night. I also went along to the trivia night at Pymble and we ended up making up our own trivia game, which was a bit of a fun surprise.

I also helped out at my local council’s School Holiday Program. We did a lot of different activities, a few of my favourites were: bike and slushie where we rode bikes and made our own slushies, magical butterfly house where we got up close and learnt about butterflies, and cheerleading dancing using pom poms.

I have some exciting news to share: I’ve made it to the final selection round for the 2026 Special Olympics Australia National Games NSW Dance Squad. Dancing is a sport that I really enjoy because it’s fun, I’m always making new friends, and it keeps me fit and active."
