The Sunken Monkey at Erina is set to open up the world of night-time entertainment to people of all abilities, with the launch of EnAbles at 6pm on September 10.
EnAbles will provide a safe and enjoyable place for people to dance, meet other people and enjoy themselves.
“Everyone is welcome and invited – people of all abilities, friends, parents, carers, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunties, uncles – anyone and everyone,” EnAbles founder Sean O’Neill said.
“Security will be there on the night to ensure the venue is safe and friendly.
“I’ve been keen to help set up a regular social event for people with a disability on the Central Coast for quite a while.
“When I met him, I couldn’t believe how keen Sean from The Sunken Monkey (yes we have the same name) was to get an event going as well.
“EnAbles will be a fun and safe place to hang out, dance and meet new friends.”
Sunken Monkey General Manager Sean Wagstaff said he hoped the whole community would get behind the event.
The EnAbles Launch Night will feature a DJ, free pizzas and prizes, including for best dressed.
“There are a lot of people who feel excluded from going to pubs and nightclubs and places like that,” O’Neill said.
“The Sunken Monkey is changing that.
“They are providing the venue to ensure people of all abilities can come along and have a really enjoyable night.”
The venue is accessible and has accessible toilets.
Enables will be held on the second Sunday of every second month from 6pm, with the next event set for November 12 with the theme Glo Party.
EnAbles is made possible by the sponsorship from organisations including My Home Living care, a NDIS registered disability support organisation, and is seeking more sponsore.
Everyone who registers for the event through Eventbrite will go in the draw for a $50 gift voucher.
