Coast FM 963 Community Hub

The Central coast branch of the Disabled Surfers Association is returning to Umina Beach with their ‘Smiles on Dials' event on Saturday DECEMBER 6.
The DSA, is a volunteer run organisation that enables people of all ages and abilities to enjoy a past-time in Australia that many take for granted – beach surfing!
Surfers have been quick to register their interest, and they now need many volunteers to make the day safe and enjoyable.
Volunteering, at a Smiles on Dials event, consists of helping participants to and from the beach and in and out of the water, along with set up and clean up.
Volunteers do not need to know how to surf, although water skills are highly valued. Food is provided and smiles are always encouraged!
Interested surfers and volunteers, can register before the day or even on the day.

If you've noticed trees wrapped in bright, colourful yarn around Kibble Park, Gosford, or down by The Village Green at Toukley, you've spotted Zonta Central Coast's latest yarn bomb — a community art project with a powerful message.
It's a part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a global campaign running from 25 November to 10 December that calls for an end to violence against women and girls.
Each year, Zonta members and volunteers across the Coast knit and crochet hundreds of vibrant panels to create eye-catching displays that make people stop, look, and learn.
Attached to the yarn are messages and information about domestic and family violence — along with where to seek help.
