Gentlemen that do NDIS STA/Respite; couple of good looking Bolt roosters right here. Steve joined Casey, our Chief of Good Times, on a 6 day STA towards the end of last year. He certainly chose a good week for it as the sun was shining and the sky was blue. This was Steve's first taste of NDIS respite, he is already booked in for another stay with us, as being able to take time away from the family has helped everyone immensely, that's why we think respite is an essential NDIS service.

The Bolt is all about community, skill building and the LOL's. Every month we run skills based STA/respite experiences where like minded NDIS folk come together to learn new skills, socialise, build capacity and just feel good about themselves. Ceramics is a huge hit with our NDIS guests and across 2025 we have 5 experiences locked in. If you wan to be like Jenny and Lizzie then you can, just head over to our website and register your interest and we'll be in touch.

Did you know that one of the reasons that NDIS participants can use respite is to try new things and make friends. At the Bolt we undertake a matching process to match guests to one another that we think might get along, and we love it when we nail it.

Meet Georgia and Charlie who met at our recent Ceramics Respite Experience, and from the pictures I think you can tell that they got along swimmingly. Numbers were exchanged and there was talking about both returning to the Bolt for another experience in the future.

If you want to be like Georgia and Charlie register your interest, we'll complete our Getting to Know You process and go to work in finding you your respite bestie.

Ever wondered about the impact that NDIS Respite has for our guests. We recently received this feedback from one of our guests support workers on the impact that a Bolt respite had for her client. Respite for NDIS participants is not a holiday, it is a genuine opportunity to make positive change.

Meet Grant who was a recent guest with the Bolt. Grant spent 4 nights on a Build Your Own Experience respite with our Chief of Good Food and Good Moods, Narelle. Grant was a keen singer so he regaled Narelle across the week with his repertoire, Narelle may have even joined in on the songs she knew.

Across his stay Grant was able to get out and about in Daylesford and the surrounding areas, undertaking activities that he had not done before and working towards some of his goals. Narelle cooked up a storm for Grant, as well as heading out for brunch at one of our local eateries in the Daylesford community.

If you want to be like Grant and join the Bolt on an NDIS respite experience, then visit our website, we're looking forward to seeing you.

Two words that we certainly like to hear, feedback from one of our recent guests Michelle. We work very hard at the Bolt to provide a 5 star experience, and we are super happy when we hit the mark.

Meet Aleisha, who recently joined the Bolt for our Knitting experience in partnership with our good friends at Craftlandia. Aleisha and our other guests learned the essentials of knitting, including how to knit stitch and purl stitch.

Aleisha was accompanied on her respite stay by her service dog Duke and our very own Chief of Cakes and Bakes, Lisa. We loved having Aleisha to stay, it was great to see her learning new skills, meeting new faces and enjoying Daylesford and its surrounds.

If you want to be like Aleisha, we will be running lots more workshops with Craftlandia and many other friends so head over to our website to learn more.

We've just wrapped up our first Skin care experience for 2024. We love welcoming Dr. Tammy from Thewhitepigeonsaid, a biochemist with a wealth of knowledge who also loves to have a laugh.

Our six NDIS guests learned all about the benefits of gut health and tried their hand at making unique skin care products that were tailored to their specific skin types.
Guests were also pampered with face masks and learned how to grow and harvest herbs for healing herbal teas, with a focus around holistic health.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, check out our website and register your interest to secure your spot in our next Skin Care experience.

Meet Kate, who joined us for a 7-night Build Your Own Experience, spending her week with another of our Bolt guests. Kate was lucky enough to be accompanied by Lisa, our Chief of Cakes and Bakes and Casey, our Chief of Good Times.

Kate made the most of the sunshine, experiencing much of what the Daylesford region has to offer, including a visit to our famous Sunday Market, Lavandula Farm and of course, a horseback ride through the Wombat Forest with our good mates from Boomerang horse ranch.

If you want to be like Kate and join the Bolt on a respite experience, then visit our website, we're looking forward to seeing you.
