What we can offer

The program runs two afternoons a week throughout the school term, with each night dedicated to developing a new skill or participating in an activity. 

Spend time with friends
All of our activities are conducted in groups to encourage social interaction, team building and the formation of long-term friendships.

With an emphasis on fun and creativity our caring coordinators have empowered customers to support each other to learn new skills and enjoy new experiences for the first time.

Be independent
Individuals can participate in group activities in a supported environment where they are encouraged to try things for themselves. Through trial and error and with peers for support, customers are given the opportunity to build skills and confidence to complete skills independently.

Our successful program continues to have high attendance and participation from customers, creating a greater sense of comfort and encouraging the freedom to be themselves.

Learn everyday skills
We support customers to learn new skills, large and small, to enable greater independence. These skills are tailored to suit the individual needs of participants and can be centred on almost any goal they may have.  This may include:
