✨ What a year it’s been and what a community!

We hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas Day 🎄✨

As the year wraps up, we want to say a big thank you. This year brought challenges and proud moments alike, and reminded us how powerful care, connection, and community really are. We’ve seen confidence grow 🌱, independence build 💪, and families supported with genuine care.

This is support done differently 💚
Showing up, building skills, and walking alongside people toward their goals.

To our participants, families, staff, volunteers, and community partners, thank you for your trust, resilience, and heart 🙌✨

As we head into 2026, we do so with fresh focus, renewed energy, and excitement for what’s ahead 🚀.

A special thank you to our team, volunteers, and community partners IGA Ellenbrook, Retravision Retravision for helping us celebrate Christmas and end of year at the hub with good food, and even better company 💚.

🌿We’re excited to share that we’re starting a brand-new community project! 🌱

Together, we’ll be painting planters and potting plants to brighten up our hub!

If you have any cuttings, plants, soil, or bright paints looking for a new home, we’d love to give them purpose in this project. Every contribution helps us bring more colour and life into our shared space.

This isn’t just about pots and paint — it’s about:

✨ Creativity & expression – adding personal touches to make our hub unique
✨ Inclusion & connection – a chance to meet new people and work together
✨ Wellbeing & pride – seeing our space transform and feeling part of it
✨ Sustainability & growth – planters that keep giving back with herbs, flowers and greenery

Even more exciting, this project will kick-start a partnership with Verdant Vista Community Garden of Ellenbrook where we’ll be getting our hands dirty, learning to grow fruit, veggies and herbs, and exploring the benefits of gardening for mental health and wellbeing and sharing our journey along the way. 🌞🌿🥕

💡 And the best part? The Community Garden are offering FREE membership until June 2026.

Today we were excited to met with Steve, Chairperson of the Garden, for a tour, and to learn more about the benefits of community gardening. We will be sharing more very soon.
