✨ Wishing you joy this holiday season ✨

As we wrap up the year, we want to take a moment to celebrate the season of togetherness, gratitude, and hope.

No matter how you choose to celebrate - or even if you simply take time to rest - we’re wishing you peace, joy, and meaningful moments with those who matter most.

Thank you for being part of our community. Here’s to a bright and positive year ahead! 🌟

This year, Engedi's Rebecca Wesson noticed Mackay Airport’s “Making Christmas a Little Brighter” campaign on Facebook – announcing that they provide 5 organisations a $2000 donation to small NFP charities in the Mackay region.

After a successful submission, we’re excited to share that Engedi was one of five organisations in Mackay selected as winners! We look forward to using the funds towards the Christmas lunch here at LifeSkills on Christmas Day and contributing to our end-of-year function for clients and families.

A big thankyou to Mackay Airport for their donation. We know that it will make for a very festive and hearty Christmas lunch at Lifeskills.
