Celebrate Casual Day with Boundless
GRAAFF-REINET - The Graaff-Reinet Protective Workplace, trading as Boundless, is proud to once again partner with the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD), for Casual Day on Friday 2 September.
Casual Day is South Africa's leading fundraising and awareness campaign for Persons living with Disabilities and is the flagship project of the NCPD.
According to Richard Bremner (chairperson), The Graaff-Reinet Protective Workplace has been in operation for 40 years and serves to give hope, purpose and dignity to those living with disabilities.
"Since the Karoo Community Church took over the organisation from the ACVV in April 2017, it continues to flourish. We are very grateful for the support that we receive from our community. On Casual Day, South Africans are encouraged to go to work or school dressed differently – to either dress up or dress down – in line with this year's theme - #IcelebrateSA, and to wear the official Casual Day sticker, to show their support for persons living with disabilities."
The campaign encourages the public to contribute financially through a small donation of R20 for a sticker and raise awareness and lobbies for full inclusion and equity for all people living with disabilities.
Casual Day is run in partnership with its National Beneficiary Organisations that provide services and advocacy work. They are the South African National Council for the Blind, the South African Federation for Mental Health, the Deaf Federation of South Africa, Autism South Africa, Down Syndrome South Africa, National
Association for Persons with Cerebral Palsy, the South African National Deaf Association, the National Institute for the Deaf, Alzheimer’s South Africa, QuadPara Association of South Africa, South African Disability Alliance and the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities.
