WHAT WE DO
Employment and work placement
We currently have a large percentage of our team who have been successful in gaining paid employment positions. We pride ourselves on partnering with organisations who share our view that people living with a disability receive full award wages. Our team are dedicated and hard working and to say we are proud is a huge understatement. Our partners Rosebud RSL provide both work placement and paid employment opportunities in kitchen, coffee making and bistro. Our team work with pride and are gaining so many valuable skills.
Social and Community Participation
We love to party! Each month in the privacy of the Silks Cranbourne function room we host our “Dinner with Friends” and have a fabulous time. We order delicious meals, sit with our friends and are treated to Karoake and dancing performances by those who would like to increase their confidence. Then, we have a disco on the dance floor!
Assistance with daily and independent living skills
We offer one to one support for travel training, cooking, transport and support to and from appointments, home organisation, shopping, banking and budgeting and so much more.
Radio and broadcasting
We have our own radio show! “Disability Matters” is a unique weekly program which airs Thursday nights at 6.00pm on Melbourne’s home of classic hits – The Buzzz. Our talented radio hosts chat with Cindy about their employment, social groups, activities and what is happening in their busy lives. We are proud to partner with the RadioVoice program who assist us to make the magic happen.
Hand Made By US*
Whilst building friendships and busying ourselves in craft, lunches and art activities we incorporate the ‘GEM Principles’ which include Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness sessions to ensure we are all looking after our mental health and learning about the importance. With the last few years being so tough we have noticed a need to be kinder to ourselves and others.
Health and Wellbeing session – Topics such as: Health eating, how to make good choices when eating out, group participation around general mental health. We also go on a group walk or play some games inside if the rain keeps us indoors.
