JOY in achieving togetherness for everybody

A Yarraville organisation that supports people with a disability has joined forces with JOY 94.9, Melbourne’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) community radio station.

Annecto CEO Estelle Fyffe says she hopes like-minded people will connect through the radio show Absolutely Everybody, which airs Wednesdays at noon.

Annecto spokeswoman Jodie Ann Henry says her organisation and JOY share similar views on inclusion.

“The show gives us the chance to talk about a whole lot of different issues that affect marginalised people,” she says.

The next show, on January 29, was inspired by this month’s stabbing death of long-term homeless man Wayne ‘Mousey’ Perry. A homeless person will be a guest, along with a representative from Kids Under Cover.

“At Annecto, we call ourselves a community inclusion organisation. That means we’re really about people,” Ms Henry says.
