Started by Mencap, Learning Disabilities Week is a powerful reminder to look beyond the disability and see the unique skills and talents of the individual.

At IDF St George, we don't just see our participants, we celebrate them. We have front row seats to their hard work, their vibrant personalities, and their ability to break down barriers when given the right opportunities.

We are incredibly proud of the ambitions, the potential, and the incredible contributions that people with learning disabilities bring to the table every single day.

This week, join us in championing visibility, inclusion, and empowerment. Let's make sure everyone is seen and valued in all aspects of life. 💙✨

Sharing a little sweetness and a lot of purpose! 🌟

We recently sent over these custom PR fudge boxes to the team at Bendigo Bank to brighten their week. This was a beautiful collaboration featuring a signature recipe by confectionery expert Swetha Swetha, proudly brought together and packed with the help of our participants.

We love any opportunity to showcase gifts that make a real community impact! 📦✨

We are so delighted to have had the chance to work with National Disability Services (NDS)!

As NDS is Australia's peak body for disability services, it was an honour having participants from The Intellectual Disability Foundation of St George put together these gift hampers.

With a delicious fudge for sweet cravings and a mini chili-infused olive oil to elevate any meal (and of course the NDS logo front and centre), they are sure to impress!
