Everyday supports

Social & Community Participation

Community participation support is about your life outside the house — the class, the club, the shift at the shop, the coffee with a friend. We support you to get there, take part, and build the confidence and connections that make it stick.

How we work

How we get started

No mystery, no drawn-out intake. You know what happens at each stage and who is responsible for it.

  1. 1

    What matters to you

    We start with your interests and goals, not a list of activities we already run.

  2. 2

    Worker matching

    We match you with support workers you actually get along with, including on language, culture and interests.

  3. 3

    Getting out

    Support runs on a schedule that suits you, building up as your confidence grows.

  4. 4

    Review

    We check in on whether it is working and adjust as your goals shift.
