“The best way to start the week? With purpose, patience, and maybe a strong coffee.” ☕

🎃♻️ When Johnnie says he wants to make Halloween decorations out of recycling… we take the task VERY seriously! 😂

From bottles to bats and cardboard to creepy ghosts — the RCS crew rolled up our sleeves and got creative. And honestly? They turned out amazing!

Johnnie is absolutely buzzing and can’t wait to hand out lollies on Friday night. 🍬👻
(Keep an eye out — this might just be the start of his eco-friendly Halloween empire!)

🎃👻 New Blog Drop! 👻🎃

Halloween might be all about costumes and candy — but it also reminds us of something deeper: the power of community spirit and inclusion.

In our latest blog, “Community Spirit and Care: What Halloween Can Teach Us About Inclusion,” we explore how simple moments of connection — from sharing a laugh to opening your door — reflect the same values that build strong, inclusive communities every day. 💛

At RCS, we believe that inclusion shouldn’t be a once-a-year event — it’s something we can nurture in every conversation, every act of kindness, and every opportunity to help someone feel seen and supported.

👉 Read the full blog to discover how community care, accessibility, and a little bit of Halloween magic can make a lasting difference! https://www.realcommunityservices.com.au/post/community-spirit-and-care-what-halloween-can-teach-us-about-inclusion

While Halloween is often about costumes, decorations, and treats, it also highlights something deeper — the power of community spirit and care. When neighbours open their doors, families walk the streets together, and everyone joins in the fun, it reminds us that inclusion and connection are what ...

💛 A gentle reminder for today... 💛

“Some days you’re the hero. Some days you’re the person hiding under a blanket. Both are valid.”

We know that life isn’t always about being strong every single day. Some days call for showing up, and others call for slowing down — and that’s perfectly okay.

Whether you’re out there making big moves or just taking a quiet moment for yourself, remember — both are acts of courage. 🌿

🌸 Meet Jo – One of Our Bust A Move Team Members! 🌸

If you know Jo, you know she’s got a heart the size of Queensland and a spirit that refuses to quit (even when her ankle had other ideas!).

Jo’s passion for supporting cancer research runs deep — she’s seen the impact of cancer first-hand and within her own family. For her, this isn’t just another fundraiser; it’s a chance to support the research, the people, and the families who walk this journey every day.

Two years ago, Jo faced a significant ankle injury that put a stop to her usual adventurous lifestyle. But in true Jo fashion, she’s been determined to get back on her feet — literally! Whether it’s walking, hiking, or doing what she calls her “wonky warrior wobble,” she’s out there every day pushing herself, step by step.

When asked what word comes to mind when she thinks about loved ones going through cancer, Jo says:
💬 “Brave. Because that’s what it takes — to fight, to heal, and to keep believing.”

Here’s to bravery, determination, and to finding a cure — one (slightly uneven) step at a time. 💕

💛 “Small acts of care ripple farther than we ever see.”
— Inspired by World Health Organization, 2023

At Real Community Services, we see this every day in a helping hand, a kind word, a shared laugh, or a moment of understanding. 💬💙

It’s the little things that create the biggest impact, not just for the people we support, but for our communities as a whole. Together, those small moments build connection, trust, and lasting change. 🌊✨

✨ What you don’t see, still matters.

Not all disabilities are visible — and that’s what makes understanding and awareness so important.

From chronic pain to mental health conditions, sensory sensitivities to neurological differences — hidden disabilities can affect how someone experiences the world, even when it’s not immediately obvious.

At RCS, we believe that true inclusion means seeing beyond what’s visible and fostering environments where every individual feels understood, supported, and respected. 💙

🧠 Read our latest blog: “Understanding Hidden Disabilities: What You Don’t See, Still Matters”
👉https://www.realcommunityservices.com.au/post/understanding-hidden-disabilities-what-you-don-t-see-still-matters

When we think of disability, we often picture what we can see — a wheelchair, a mobility aid, or a visible physical condition. But many people live with disabilities that aren’t immediately apparent. These are known as hidden disabilities, and they can affect anyone, at any stage of life.

We rise. We learn. We keep the enthusiasm alive. 💥

At RCS, we know that true success isn’t about never stumbling — it’s about standing tall after every fall. 💪

Each challenge teaches us, each setback builds resilience, and together we keep moving forward with enthusiasm and purpose.

💫 “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill
