Our game changing disability programs
Big news! We’ve revamped our most popular programs and teamed up with Mad Paws for an exciting new partnership! These programs designed to empower and enrich the lives of adults with disabilities on the Northern Beaches and have been carefully crafted to foster independence, social connection, and personal growth, ensuring every participant can thrive in a supportive and engaging environment.
With a focus on community, inclusion, and meaningful experiences, our new offering caters to a wide range of interests and abilities. Whether it’s developing life skills, exploring creative passions, or building strong social networks, we’re dedicated to providing opportunities that make a real difference. Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out—register now before they fill up! We can’t wait to see some of our familiar faces on some new outings, and welcome new participants and together witness the positive impact these programs will have on their lives!
Our Brookvale hub is a vibrant space providing access to a range of interest-based activities and programs which enable our participants to share their learning experience with other people of similar age or interests. This is our meeting place for excursions and social outings and we love being out in the community! While the focus at our Brookvale hub is on having fun and learning, we recognise the fundamental importance of excellent care and support. Our team is well trained and capable, ensuring that client needs are met with dignity and respect.
