The Launceston Cup looked a little different at St Michael's this year, and we think our version might have been better!

Our participants designed and made their own hats from scratch before taking to the runway in a full fashion show, complete with prizes for the best in field.

The creativity, the confidence, the absolutely outstanding headwear - we couldn't be prouder of everyone who got involved.

Check out some of the looks and winners for yourself.

There's something genuinely satisfying about a home that's well looked after, and our participants are nailing it.

This week we're spotlighting some of the everyday moments that don't always get the recognition they deserve: cooking up a meal from scratch, getting the vacuuming done, washing up after dinner, and tackling the bathroom.

Real tasks, real effort, real pride. These are the skills that make a difference every single day. Well done to everyone pictured — you should be proud of your skills and spaces.

Sharing a few pics from a great afternoon on Australia Day, coming together for a relaxed BBQ and park games — including a very competitive game of 'backyard' cricket!

Thank you to all the staff and participants who joined in, brought along salads to share, played games, and enjoyed plenty of laughs on what turned out to be a beautiful day. The sense of connection and fun was felt by everyone there, and it was wonderful to see people so engaged and enjoying each other’s company.

Declan summed it up perfectly when he said, “This is the best Australia Day I have ever had!” Oscar, Declan, Mathew, Sarah and Alice were fully immersed in the cricket game, with some great support from Grace and June along the way.

Outstanding active support across the board — a big thank you to every support worker and attendee who made the day such a success.

Aussie Aussie Aussie...! It was lovely to come together and celebrate an early Australia Day in Newstead.

There were plenty of smiles, good company and a great sense of connection as we each celebrated what it means to our staff and participants. Thank you to everyone who planned the events, got dressed up, and joined us to make the day so enjoyable.

A reminder that our office will be closed for the Australia Day public holiday and will reopen on Tuesday.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy long weekend!

Jo recently celebrated a very special milestone, turning 70 last week, and she was well and truly spoilt by friends and family.

Even on her birthday, Jo stayed committed to her goals, spending the morning at Day Services working on her budgeting skills; a great reflection of her determination and independence.

Celebrations followed with a cheeky caramel cake shared with friends, before a lovely afternoon treat at Banjo’s with her support staff, and a special birthday dinner at Cataract on Paterson with family and friends.

Truly a day to remember, happy 70th birthday Jo!

How was everyone’s Christmas?! 🎄

We enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch in Devonport! A huge thank you to Tim for doing an amazing job preparing all the food, and to Georgie and Tash for decorating and setting everything up so beautifully.

There were plenty of smiling faces, happy conversations and very full bellies — a wonderful way to celebrate the season together. Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so enjoyable.

What a wonderful night celebrating Christmas together in Launceston we had last Friday! The room was filled with laughter, music and festive spirit, and it was so special to see everyone enjoying the evening.

A heartfelt thank you to Emma and her Disability Team for leading the planning, plus Health and the Assets Team setting up, Kerryn who MC'd brilliantly, and to all staff who helped make the night run so smoothly. Your planning, care and hard work behind the scenes made a real difference and created such a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

We’re also incredibly grateful for the support of our local community, especially the New Horizons Choir, whose beautiful performances added something truly special to the evening to kick things off.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed — it was a fantastic way to come together and share the joy of the Christmas season- we'll have more in our next newsletter!
