Out-of-Hours Recreational, Entertainment & Social Programs
Social Night
In our Social Night program we offer our service users the opportunities to participate
in our organised Disco and Restaurant Dining social activities/entertainment for large groups. These provide opportunities for our people with disabilities to socialise and
have fun with their friends outside of the regular program hours at our services.
Our staff provides support and assistance during these occasions. Our ex-students,
who have moved on to employment or have moved house, or friends and family of
our service users are always welcome to attend and join us.
Pathfinders
In our Pathfinders Out-Of-Hours programs (for small groups) we aim to foster and
nurture friendships, enhance social skills, confidence and independence of young
people with intellectual and/multiple disabilities in the community.
