🌟 Happy GivingTuesday! Today is all about the joy of giving back and making a positive impact in our communities.

💖 It is a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Join the movement - whether it's a small act of kindness or a larger donation, every contribution counts. Let's support the causes that matter to us and make a difference in the lives of others.

Early this year, a new micro-business - Mow & Mend - was started due to a generous donation by donors John & Judy. This team now employs 5 (and soon to be more) of our supported employees into open employment.

If you'd like to volunteer at any one of our sites, please have a chat with Jae Stephan at volunteer@thebridgeinc.org.au or check out https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0qvyD0.

If you would like to make a donation to help wrap someone in support this Christmas, so we can offer more services and initiatives to our clients, please visit please visit https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0qvwR0

Every act of generosity counts, and everyone has something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in. 🌈

🌟 What an unforgettable experience at the Melbourne Disability Expo!

We were truly honoured to connect with so many incredible individuals including clients, families, carers, community members, and partners, both familiar and new. Sharing stories, exploring opportunities in community and employment services, and celebrating inclusion together reminded us of the deep purpose behind everything we do.

Our interactive photobooth was buzzing with laughter and connection, and we loved every moment of it. Receiving the Best Booth award was a wonderful recognition of our commitment to building a vibrant, inclusive community.

To our passionate staff who brought the energy, our behind-the-scenes heroes, and the wonderful event organisers Impact Institute and ExpoNet, thank you for making it all possible. 💙

It’s Inclusion at Work Week! 🎉

This national celebration invites organisations across Australia to share how they’re building safer, fairer and more respectful workplaces where everyone can thrive. In DCA’s 40th year, we’re reflecting on the progress we’ve made and what’s next to come.

At The Bridge, inclusion means:
🔹Creating accessible, respectful experiences for our people and the communities we serve
🔹Listening to lived experience and acting on feedback
🔹Removing barriers in recruitment, communication and everyday work
🔹Equipping leaders and teams with practical inclusion skills

What’s next on our journey: more co‑design with clients and staff, richer data to track impact, and deeper partnerships that open pathways into meaningful work.

Let’s celebrate the wellbeing, innovation and performance that inclusion unlocks this week, and every week. 👏

Where Art Meets Empowerment ✨🖌️

In June, The Bridge hosted ‘Illuminate’ a vibrant art show at our Macleod Day Service Hall. The event was alive with connection, colour, and creativity, featuring outstanding artwork crafted by the talented individuals we support. 🎨

Thanks to the generous support of Banyule City Council, select pieces were later exhibited at the Ivanhoe Library & Culture Hub. From 16 Oct to 9 Nov, the artwork shone in a standalone exhibition, celebrating artistic expression and the positive impact creativity brings to health and wellbeing.

A heartfelt thank you to Banyule City Council and Ivanhoe Library & Culture Hub for helping our artists shine. Congratulations to everyone whose work was showcased, your creativity inspires us all! 🌟
