💛 A wonderful new chapter for Louise and Jason

Louise and her partner Jason recently moved into Kallara Care, with Rebecca and Mollie from our Support Coordination team helping to organise their move.

It’s wonderful to hear that Louise and Jason are happy and settling into their new home. 🏡💛

To make the occasion even more special, Mollie accompanied Louise to Lush Culture in Bendigo, where she enjoyed a complimentary haircut and wash.

Louise felt like a million dollars after her pamper session! ✨

Wishing Louise and Jason all the very best as they settle into their new home. 💛

🏉 A great day out at the footy!

Last weekend, Dylan and Kaidy headed to GMHBA Stadium for the Geelong vs Richmond game.

Dylan, an avid Richmond Tigers supporter, was there to cheer on his team, while Kaidy, a proud Collingwood supporter, bravely ventured into enemy territory wearing her Collingwood gear! 😄

It looks like there were plenty of smiles and team spirit on the day.

Great to see you both enjoying the footy, Dylan and Kaidy! 💛🏉

🎨 Meet Keisha, one of our participants from Horsham and a talented local artist. 💛

Keisha has always had an interest in art and rediscovered her love of painting as a young adult. Starting with paint-by-numbers, she soon began creating her own designs and has since exhibited her work at the Horsham and Natimuk agricultural shows.

Today, Keisha enjoys creating a variety of pieces, with a particular love for oil painting and black-and-white designs. 🎨

Keisha is currently selling a selection of her paintings to help raise funds for an upcoming trip to Sydney for surgery.

We’re proud to share Keisha’s story with our community and help spread the word about her artwork and fundraising efforts. 💛

💬 What makes a great support worker?

A great support worker does more than simply provide support.

💛 They listen. Taking the time to understand what matters to each person.
🤝 They respect. Supporting individual choices, preferences and goals.
🌱 They encourage. Helping people build confidence, skills and independence.
✨ They connect. Building genuine relationships based on trust and understanding.

At The Support People, great support is about putting participants at the heart of everything we do — empowering people to make their own choices and live life their way.

Because great support isn’t about taking over. It’s about standing alongside.

💛 Friendship is worth celebrating every day. 💛

Yesterday was International Friendship Day, a wonderful reminder of how meaningful connections can enrich our lives.

Friendship is about feeling included, sharing experiences, supporting one another and creating memories together. Whether it's enjoying a coffee, trying something new, joining a group activity or simply having someone to chat with, these connections can make a real difference to our confidence, wellbeing and sense of belonging.

At The Support People, we're proud to help participants build friendships through our community activities and supports. Every conversation, every shared laugh and every new connection is a step towards a more connected and inclusive community.

Here's to celebrating friendship—not just yesterday, but every day. 💙

💙 Nelson Mandela Day | 18 July 💙

"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others." – Nelson Mandela

Today, on Nelson Mandela Day, we celebrate the values of kindness, compassion, equality and community.

It's a reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a lasting difference. A friendly conversation, offering support, including someone, or simply taking the time to listen can brighten someone's day and strengthen our communities.

At The Support People, these values are part of everything we do. Every day, we work to help people build confidence, foster meaningful connections and live life with dignity, respect and independence.

Today, let's all take a moment to make a positive difference—because together, small actions create lasting change. 💛

At The Support People, we're here to encourage, support and celebrate those moments, helping participants build confidence, independence and meaningful connections every step of the way.
