✨ Paul's pool milestone!

In December, Inverell participant Paul reached a milestone he’s been working towards for over 12 months.

Meal Planning & Preparation! 🍽️

Brighter Access Supported Independent Living (SIL) participant Jude and his support worker sat down to plan his meals for the week, ensuring everything aligned with his budget before heading out for the grocery shop.

🎄 Christmas festivities in Tamworth

Our Tamworth Staff and Participants had a blast in our Community Access Hub celebrating Christmas this week.

🎳🎄Port Macquarie Christmas Party!🎳🎄

Our Staff and Participants in Port Macquarie hit the bowling lanes to celebrate the festive season earlier this week.

It was a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some friendly competition, reflect on an amazing year, welcome and get to know two of our newest SIL Participants, and share plenty of laughs over great food.

Word on the grapevine is that while our MNC Regional Manager Kaitlyn is an incredible leader and all-round legend… her bowling skills might still be a work in progress 😉

Here are a few snaps from the party!
