Every volunteer brings unique skills, perspectives, and passion to Surrey Place.

For Justin Cross, volunteering with youth in the Building Confidence group at Story Place offered an opportunity to learn directly from autistic youth, build meaningful relationships, and gain valuable real-world experience.

Volunteers help create welcoming, inclusive spaces where young people can build confidence, connect with others, and thrive. We're grateful for volunteers like Justin who make that possible. 💙

Building community starts with belonging.

Surrey Place was proud to join Toronto Community Housing and community partners at a BBQ welcoming families to their new homes at 50 Torbolton Drive.

Designed with accessibility and inclusion in mind, this revitalized affordable housing community helps create a welcoming environment for children with disabilities and developmental differences.

The event was an opportunity to meet residents, share resources, and begin building connections. Alongside our sister organization, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, we're excited to support residents through programs that foster connection, belonging, and community participation.

Thank you to Toronto Community Housing for bringing everyone together as this new chapter begins. 💙

On World Mental Health Day, we're recognizing the parents, caregivers, family members, and loved ones who show up every day to support others.

Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be demanding. Between appointments, advocacy, daily responsibilities, and planning for the future, many caregivers often put their own needs last.

Today is a reminder that your wellbeing matters, too.

Whether it's taking a moment to rest, reaching out for support, connecting with your community, or just acknowledging that some days are harder than others, small steps can make a difference.

At Surrey Place, we're proud to support individuals and families across every stage of their journey. Because when caregivers feel supported, families are better able to thrive.
