SLES Group – Retail Skills in Action! 🛍️✨

This session focused on research, critical analysis, and real-world retail skills through a mix of in-person and online activities. Participants explored customer journeys across different retail environments, reflecting on customer experience, staff interactions, and what great service looks like at every stage — from first impression to final purchase.

The discussions were thoughtful and practical, with the group identifying clear strategies to strengthen the customer journey both in-store and online at UpLoved.

Big-picture thinking, collaborative problem-solving, and real business insight — exactly the kind of skills that translate straight into the workplace 👏

A great session at UpLoved this morning! 👏

This participant came in with a creative idea — moving a clothing rack outside to help attract more customers — and it looked fantastic. A simple initiative that shows growing confidence and business thinking. ✨

Alongside that, plenty of new items were priced and refreshed onto the racks, keeping the store looking full and inviting.

Well done — love seeing that initiative and effort in action! 💪

A full start-to-finish cooking session! 👨‍🍳✨

This participant prepared one of his favourite meals — stuffed pepper mixture — taking ownership of every step. From planning the ingredients, to grocery shopping, to cooking it all together, he worked through the entire process with focus and independence.

And the result? A delicious success! 🌶️👏

Great to see those life skills building through practical, hands-on experience.

Such a solid session at UpLoved! 👏

This participant did a great job serving customers and getting a bunch of new clothes priced and out onto the racks. He was calm, polite, and proactive — exactly what you want to see in a retail setting.

It’s been awesome watching his confidence grow in-store. Each shift he’s stepping up a little more, taking initiative and backing himself. Love to see it! 💪✨

Big effort, big impact at UpLoved! 🙌

This session kicked off with opening the shop and diving straight into a start-of-year refresh — sorting consigned clothing by name and preparing items for return. Folding skills developed through volunteering were put to great use, with focus and confidence throughout the task.

It was a busy day in-store, with multiple customers served and the consignment process explained clearly and confidently. A highlight? Selling a dress straight off the mannequin display — proof that strong visual merchandising and teamwork really do boost customer interest and sales. 👗✨

After a short morning tea break and reset, it was back into tasks without missing a beat. A strong display of independence, work ethic, and growing retail capability — fantastic to see this momentum building! 👏

SLES 2026 – Building Business Skills! 🚀

This session focused on real-world business thinking and seeing retail through the eyes of a customer. The group explored the Uploved Uplift project in depth, completing a critical analysis of the store and mapping different customer journeys — from first-time visitors to customers in a rush or those with accessibility needs.

Participants also researched online sales platforms, weighing up pros, cons, usability, and overall suitability to help determine the best fit for Uploved’s future online store.

The discussion sparked strong collaboration around teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and customer service — all highly valued workplace skills.

A thoughtful, productive session with great engagement and forward planning as store visits approach. The momentum in this group is building! 🔥

Confidence and independence in action! 🙌

This participant drove himself to the Nerang office, opened the shop independently, and got straight into it — counting the cash, recording the opening float, preparing price tags, and engaging professionally with customers along the way.

The session also included time to review and reflect on goals within his support plan, reinforcing direction and purpose.

Calm, engaged, and quietly confident — a strong display of growing workplace capability. 👏

A productive shift at Uploved! 🙌

With plenty of jobs needing attention, this participant chose a task independently and got straight into it — great initiative. Together, we priced a stack of new clothing items and refreshed the racks, getting everything ready to find a new home. 👕✨

Love seeing that confidence and work ethic in action!

21/02/2026

Great news all round! 🙌

A quick chat with the store manager connected us with the right person to speak to about supported employment pathways — sometimes it really is one conversation that makes the difference.

We’ve now got a clear next step in place… fingers crossed this opens the door to an exciting new opportunity! 🚪✨

A participant had a fantastic session at UpLoved, getting hands-on with real retail tasks 👕✨

From pricing and hanging stock to serving a customer and even sharing creative ideas for the shop front, they were engaged, focused, and a genuine part of the team throughout the day.

It’s always great to see confidence, teamwork, and creativity come together in a real workplace environment 💼🌟

Focused session out at a familiar local shopping centre 🛍️✨

Emails were checked for updates on recent job applications — no responses just yet, but the momentum stayed strong.

After a quick lunch and reset, it was straight back into job searching. One application submitted, plus a deep dive into opportunities within an environment that already feels comfortable and confidence-building.

The session wrapped up with targeted career exploration, refining search strategies and submitting another application 👏

Persistence, routine, and staying proactive — that’s how progress is made 💼🚀

Volunteering in action at Baby Give Back 💛

A fantastic session in the warehouse “alley,” sorting donated clothing by size and keeping everything organised for families in need.

Great engagement with the volunteer coordinator, listening carefully to guidance and learning from experienced volunteers along the way.

Confidence is growing — with the next step already locked in: progressing to quality checking at the next visit. 👏✨
