WHAT IS YADA? YADA is a self-supporting social group for young adults who are 18yrs and over and have a mild to moderate disability. The group was formed in 1985 by Jennifer McAlees and John Eastwood who saw a need for Young adults to have a social life and interaction. The group meets between 9:00am and 2:00pm every Tuesday and Thursday at the Bonnyrigg South Community Centre, Corner of Brown Road and Gemalla Street, Bonnyrigg. ACTIVITIES

YADA no longer accepts or collects physical donations of goods. Liverpool Council made it impossible for us to continue our work with the community. We relunctantly had to sell our property in Liverpool in 2023 to survive and keep providing our social support to our clients.

We do not know of any local charities that do household collections, we can only suggest to contact the larger charities, St Vincent De Paul, Smith Family, Salvation Army or Lifeline.

We are crushed that we no longer support the community in this way and wish everyone the best.

We still provide disability Social Support for Adults with mild to moderate disabilities at Bonnyrigg South Community Centre 9-15 Gemalla St Bonnyrigg on Tuesdays and Thusrdays, along with our monthly weekend day trips.

Happy New Year to everyone. We hope you all had a great holiday season.

We wish to remind/advise that we no longer collect or accept physical donations from the community after having to sell our property in Anderson Ave, due to enforcement from Liverpool Council, we no longer have a โ€œhomeโ€.
All of our shops are closed, as we couldnโ€™t find volunteers to run our remaining store at Ingleburn and that property is now up for sale by the owner.

We are in the process of NDIS re accreditation and are working hard to provide a great disability service to our clients.

We are still on the hunt for a driver on Tuesdays and Thursdays for client pick up and drop offs. (See previous posts regarding this). If you know anyone with an LR licence and has a good driving record please pass on the contact details below.

Our Yada centre will reopen on Tuesday February 4th 2025 and canโ€™t wait to see all those happy faces.

Bring on a better 2025!!

If anyone has any queries please do not hesitate to send an email to [email protected] or call
