πŸ“£Another shoutout to the wonderful crew at Mum's Bakehouse Kedron for our glorious bread supply every Wednesday!

The hard work that our participants put into sorting & bagging all the bakery treats and maintaining the pantry is making a huge impact on our local community! We have even partnered with a local school to support their breakfast club, feeding hungry kids for a full day of learning πŸ“šβœοΈ

People with intellectual disability are often talked about in terms of the support they require. We want our community to also see how our participants can contribute to others in the community who need support. They have become familiar faces at the bakery and within the local community who have also had the opportunity to get to know them as individuals rather than making assumptions based on their disability.

Visit us next Wednesday for bread or a nice bakery treat if needed! πŸ₯– Or any other day for other staples and personal care items 🧴🫘πŸ₯«

Our stock is looking a bit low at the moment though so any donations are warmly welcomed!

β€œRoll up, roll up!” Tuesday group headed out to Everton Park to the mini Ekka to see the Dagwood Dog guy, taste some fairy floss, look at colourful show bags, and even have a go at the cheeky clown game! 🀑🌭🍭

A fantastic outing soaking up the mini carnival atmosphere, enjoying the sights, sounds, and treats together as a group. πŸ’š Everyone had a wonderful time exploring all the stalls and sharing in the excitement of the day!
