Community Participation

Participating in the community

Community access support is an essential service that allows participants to engage in social and recreational activities within their local community. This service is designed to support you to achieve your goals and enhance your independence, social connections and overall quality of life. This can be done through activities such as attending events, joining community groups, visiting local attractions and venues, participating in sports and recreation activities and much more.  

We offer flexible scheduling and can provide support on a regular or occasional basis, depending on your needs.
