Disability Resource Centre H.B. Trust - DRC Our Vision:
The community is enriched by the participation of people with diverse abilities. Disability Resource Centre (H.B.)

Trust is a Charitable Trust and we offer support to, and promote opportunities for, people with a difference. We work to promote opportunities and facilities for the independence, mobility, and recreation of people with disabilities as well as providing occupational, social and personal opportunities and facilities. We also distribute information and provide assistance to our community and overall

foster, encourage and support the work of people with disabilities. Scopze Day Service offers day respite for people with disabilities. It was initially established in 2012 for clients that had been accessing Disability Resource Centre (HB) Trust services for a number of years but then required a more structured, quieter environment with additional support. Network Personnel assists people with a difference to plan their careers, find employment, and provide ongoing in-work support to ensure successful outcomes for their clients. It provides a free supported recruitment service to Employers, which enables businesses to broaden their access to the labour market and thus diversify the workplace. Turning Point is a service assisting people with disabilities to be valued contributors to their community, helping them to have the confidence, skills and support of their families and friends to reach their potential.

Growing Independence & Confidence 🌟

We’re so proud to see Mark becoming more independent every day! Recently, he’s learned how to walk to the bus stop and catch the bus home all on his own—what a huge milestone! 🚌👏

His confidence in communication is also shining through, as he enjoys chatting with people out in the community. It’s been amazing to watch him connect more and more with others.

And of course, he’s still having lots of fun playing table tennis with his friends at the DRC 🏓—a great way to stay active and social!
Keep up the awesome work, Mark—we’re cheering you on every step of the way! 💙

Growth Through Connection 🌟

It’s been wonderful to see the progress Laurence has made through consistently attending his activity sessions. Whether he’s playing pool, enjoying ten-pin bowling, or taking part in Eastern Bridge learning—building his literacy and numeracy skills while working towards his learner’s licence—he’s achieved so much.

Beyond developing new skills, Laurence has also formed meaningful friendships along the way. His journey is a great example of how commitment and participation can lead to both personal growth and strong social connections. 👏

🍋 Sweet Success in the Kitchen! 🍯

Emily and Jacob had a fantastic time preparing their own lemon honey from scratch! From carefully gathering ingredients to completing each step—cutting butter, grating and juicing lemons, adding sugar, and cooking the mixture in the microwave—they showed great teamwork and focus throughout the process.

They demonstrated excellent awareness of safety, especially when handling heat and equipment, and confidently poured their finished lemon honey into jars. Emily and Jacob were also able to explain why certain steps were important, like heating the jars, showing a strong understanding of the process.

It was wonderful to see them support each other, work collaboratively, and take pride in their delicious creation. The best part? Taking their homemade lemon honey home to enjoy! 👏✨
