We need additional resources to expand our arts program here at Bedford, and we need your help!

“I was born to be on stage.”

                 —   Jacqui Gomas, Bedford client

From producing a musical work of art in our This is Me video that went viral, to holding our inaugural Bedford SALA Exhibition, this year it became clear we have so much talent within our Bedford community just waiting to be unleashed, given the opportunity.

This year has shown us the importance of the arts to people with disability, but currently we do not have the resources to expand our program here at Bedford.

For many of our clients, the arts is their way to express themselves. It’s their time to be who they want to be and have the freedom to do so.

With your support today, the future of Bedford will see our clients having opportunities right at their fingertips to chase their dreams.

Your donation could help fund a private recording studio session, a group session at a circus school, singing lessons, the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and so much more.

For clients like Kym Mackenzie, who aspires to direct his own play or stage show and be an MC at events, this would mean so much.

When Kym talks about the performing arts, his eyes light up and his smile broadens. Beginning his career in the arts almost 30 years ago, when Kym steps on the stage he is a comedian, an actor, a singer, a dancer. He has the freedom to be whoever he chooses to be. To show the world that people of all abilities can chase their dreams.

The stage is Kym's happy place.

“Performing gives me a chance to show people that a person with a disability can get out there and do something. I have a chance to show people who are able bodied that anybody is capable of it.”

                 —   Kym Mackenzie




For Bedford hospitality team member Jacqui Goumas, her love of singing began at a young age. Now a proud member of our very own Bedford choir, she harbours a dream of writing her own songs one day.

“When I’m performing, I feel happy, I feel confident,” Jacqui said.

“I was born to be on stage."
