A disability charity's launching an urgent appeal that it faces closure after more than 20 years.
StarJam provides music and dance workshops for young people with disabilities, designed to foster inclusion and wellbeing.
It's trying to raise $100,000 to keep the doors open to its 800 members.
CEO Gilli Sinclair told Mike Hosking that they've been hit by the escalating cost of living and reduced funding streams.
They put out the appeal yesterday and within the last 24 hours raised over $70,000.
Sinclair said they're incredibly positive about the opportunity and have full faith in their ability to see their way through.
