The Next Step

12/02/2026

Yet another reason why we live in one of the best communities. Recently, one of our avid musicians Alex, had been a little stressed about a broken string on his guitar. He had mentioned it a few times while at program. (1000 times a minute, I’m sure his parents can attest 😅). So we got together to fix the problem. One message to Axl over at Alfred’s Kin in Holbrook, and we had brand new strings ready to go the very next day! Not only were they of high quality and the service was unparalleled, Axl DONATED these strings to us! 😍 Axl and his amazing wife Kristie are some of the very best people you will ever meet. They would do anything at the drop of the hat to help anyone. We are so thankful for this incredible gesture! Please go drop in to Alfred’s Kin in Holbrook and support Axl and Kristie. It’s one of the coolest shops going around! Local supports local. Thank you again guys!

Sophie update📣
Soph has been up to a few things with The Next Step lately. She just completed a weekend in Avondale place where she gets to learn life skills & build her independence.

She has made many new connections with staff members and other participants in the group, building her social skills and establishing beautiful friendships.

Sophie got involved in the community by setting up her micro business that she shares with her sister Matilda, she sold their items out the front of the Henty IGA & did so well.

Sophie participated in lots of fun activities like playing laser tag, eating out & experiencing her first ever gold class movie.

We also have got to mention her time spent working with Vash improving her horse riding skills.
Sophie thoroughly enjoyed riding and learning how to work with horses.

We absolutely love working with Soph, you never really know what she is gonna do next. It’s so exciting seeing this young girl discover more about herself everyday!
Watch this space!
