What Would You Like to Participate In ?

Where do you want to go?

Sometimes it can seem daunting but spending time with your friends, family and meeting new people can be beneficial and rewarding for you. You get to experience different ideas and learn about yourself.

Is there a hobby or sport you'd like to try ? You can learn some life skills that help you with your independence like learning to cook, shop for clothes and how to manage your money. The choice is unlimited.

Your community hosts many activities that you can enjoy from festivals to sporting events as well as community classes. Let's find something fun to enjoy!

We understand how challenging it can be to get yourself to different destinations. We can transport you to and from places and we can provide wheelchair assistance.

How Do I Manage Myself?

How can I manage my life?

We can organise short term accommodation stays for you to provide you with a break from your home life and to allow you to experience an activity outside of your home city.

What do you want to do in your life? Who do you want to become? We can coach you on this and help you set and achieve goals. We help you map out what is achievable and set realistic goals that benefit you

We all have attributes that affect us in life. The important thing is to be aware of these attributes, understand them and identify ways to manage them or utilise them to our advantage. We can assist you with this journey.

Life can be overwhelming. We understand. Let's discuss what you are struggling with and we can develop strategies to assist you to manage these issues.
