 Our approach centres around incorporating your individual goals into every aspect of program planning. We recognise that each person has unique aspirations and abilities, and we work closely with you to understand these. By collaborating with you and your loved ones, we ensure that your personal goals are reflected in the development of a support plan that fosters your independence and personal growth. 

 Animal Interaction & Care
Engaging with animals promotes emotional regulation, responsibility, and connection. Participants help care for chickens, rabbits, cats, and guinea pigs, fostering empathy and routine-building skills.

Horticulture & Gardening
Through hands-on gardening, participants learn about sustainability, nutrition, and responsibility while growing their own fresh produce. This activity encourages fine motor skills, patience, and problem-solving.

Creative Projects
Craftsmanship activities provide an opportunity to develop creativity, coordination, and problem-solving abilities. Participants work on woodworking and other creative projects that encourage focus and skill development.

Farm-to-Plate Cooking
Using fresh, locally grown ingredients, participants learn meal preparation, nutrition, and kitchen safety, reinforcing independence and healthy living habits.

Arts & Crafts
Engaging in arts-based activities encourages self-expression, communication, and emotional well-being, particularly for those with alternative communication needs.

Community Markets & Entrepreneurship
Our monthly markets showcase participant talents, allowing them to sell handmade crafts, produce, and baked goods, reinforcing financial literacy, business skills, and community engagement.
