Social and Community Participation
Be an active member of your community
Being an active member in community life can build confidence, connection, and a real sense of belonging. Whether it’s heading to the markets, joining a local group or catching up with friends, or building your skills for career development, we support you to take part in the things you enjoy – in a way that works for you.
Community connection, your way
Community Participation is about more than just getting out and about. It’s about supporting you to stay connected- with the people, places and activities that make life meaningful.
We build a support team around you who work with you to understand what feels comfortable, where you would like to go, and how much support you want along the way. Whether you are looking to try something new or keep up with the things you already enjoy, we will follow your lead and support you at your pace.
