annecto hits the spot

To celebrate the United Nations International Day of People with Disability, annecto recognised an invention and its creator, already assisting people with disability compete with the best.   Presented at the Station Hotel in Footscray, Russell Strobel received the annecto emergence award in recognition of his contribution to empowering individuals and encouraging participation in the community.

The annecto emergence award was created to celebrate people and organisations working toward enabling people to achieve their goals and aspirations.

annecto board member, Ian Gray is an avid darts player.   Russell’s invention has provided Ian with the opportunity to not only play the game he loves but compete at the highest level.

“The fact that Russell realized that people were being excluded from the sport he loves and then did something about it speaks volumes about the man.

Genuine community inclusion is about people being able to do what they want to do and having access to the resources to do it.”

Congratulations Russell Strobel!
