Michael Bartels, our Lollipop Man, and his wife Sharon are producing and starring in a play in 2019. The cast is intellectually disabled and all funds raised from ticket sales will be donated to Buy a Bale. 

 

“My name is Michael and I’m 51 years old and I have been singing and acting over the last 25 years. Over the past years and performances my passion for acting and singing has grown and this has given myself the platform to create a play to raise much needed support and funds for the farmers.

My cousin’s family live and work on a bull farm in Bagnoo in rural NSW and are the motivation behind putting on this fundraising variety show. They have struggled with drought and I have seen this first hand. Any support or donations that can be made to help the farmers will be very much appreciated.

I have an Intellectual disability and along with my wife Sharon, and Waverley Community Living Program, have created a play and event to help raise funds for Buy a Bale.

We have been a members of Waverley Community Living Program for 20 years. This service supports us to live independently in our community. I have teamed up with Waverley Communtiy Living Program (WCLP)  to put on this event.

Members of WCLP are a part of the play and event and have been a big part of organising the play.”

Let’s support Michael and Sharon as well as the farmers who are battling with the drought.
