Give Me Some Space!

Give Me Some Space! is a free workshop for children living with asthma and their families.

Join us for a day of fun and learning with Milk Crate Circus and Community Asthma Educators from the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District.

While the kids enjoy learning circus skills, adults will join Community Asthma Educators to discuss strategies for managing your child’s asthma and participate in a consultation session facilitated by Healthy Cities Illawarra (HCI).

HCI is working with Asthma Australia to improve outcomes for children with asthma in the Illawarra. We want to hear from families about your experience with asthma and the care you have received. Your experiences will help inform future programs for children with asthma in the Illawarra.

Participants will receive:

• A delicious Lunch and morning tea (let us know your dietary requirements when registering)
• A $75 shopping voucher for each adult who contributes to the focus group session
• A FREE spacer device for each child with asthma
• Transport within the Wollongong area if required (let us know when registering)

Please note:

• Only families who are currently supporting a child with asthma are eligible to attend (siblings and kin are also welcome)
• Children must be accompanied by an adult. Adults must participate in the education and consultation sessions to be eligible for the shopping voucher

Give Me Some Space! is provided by Healthy Cities Illawarra with funding from Asthma Australia thanks to the Pearl Sheppard Trust.
