☀️ What a beautiful sunny day!

It was even brighter at our Narre Warren Day Service, where our clients were treated to a surprise visit from AJ's Wonder Whippy Ice Cream Van! 🍦✨

Clients, students, volunteers, and staff loved picking their favorite flavours and toppings. It was the perfect Friday treat to wrap up the week.

A huge shoutout to AJ’s Wonder Whippy for your care and patience with our clients and team. You truly made our day! 🧡

🎉Celebrating Holly’s success 🌟

Holly has just completed a 10-week placement with the amazing team at Westfield Fountain Gate and what an achievement!

Through our Your Supports program, Holly was supported for the duration of her placement, following a recommendation from her team at Pakenham Day Service, who provided ongoing encouragement and emotional support along the way. 🙌

Holly’s goal was to find meaningful employment and she absolutely rose to the challenge. Every Friday during Kids Morning events, she welcomed families with a smile, helping to create fun, engaging activities in a busy environment.

Her confidence has grown, and her incredible memory for names made it easy to build genuine connections.

A huge thank you to Falguni for the dedicated support and guidance throughout this journey. 🤝✨

Congratulations Holly and team, you should be so proud. This is what’s possible when we connect, collaborate and champion each other. 💙💚🧡

Certified Social Enterprises Supporting Each Other! 🌱🐾

This week, The Bridge’s Cleaning Crew began transitioning our bathroom consumables to About a Dog (soon to be certified), a fantastic social enterprise that donates 50% of all profits to animal welfare organisations.

What’s even better? We can now order everything including toilet paper, dispensers, paper hand towels, tissues, and paper rolls, all from one organisation.

Supporting social enterprises means creating impact that goes beyond business. Together, we’re building stronger communities and changing lives. 💙

🌟 International Volunteer Day 2025 🌟

Today we celebrate the powerful message behind this year’s theme that every act of volunteering big or small, helps build a stronger, more connected world.

This year also marks the official launch of the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development (IVY2026), recognising the essential role volunteers play in creating lasting, sustainable change.

At The Bridge, we see this impact every day. To our incredible volunteers, thank you. Your generosity, commitment, and compassion strengthen our community and open new pathways for the people we support. Every contribution truly matters. 💙

If you’re inspired to get involved, we’d love to hear from you. We love to see the unique life experience of our Volunteers shared and would welcome the chance to connect with you.

Reflecting on International Day of People with Disability 💙

Across our sites, we recently celebrated International Day of People with Disability. For us, this day is about more than awareness, it's about connection, celebration, and honouring the incredible individuality of people with disability in our community. The moments we shared together were a powerful reminder of why genuine inclusion matters.

To everyone who joined us and to all our staff, thank you for making this day so special and for helping create spaces where every person feels valued, respected and supported. 🙌
