“R U OK?” Any Day 💛💬

Life's ups and downs happen every day, and that's why RUOK wants everyone to feel confident to check in with the people they care about and ask, "R U OK?" any day.

Meaningful conversations matter. When we reach out and ask “R U OK?”, we help foster a compassionate community where everyone feels safe to share and seek support.

Every day is an opportunity to connect whether it’s with a friend, family member, or colleague. By taking a moment to listen and show you care, you can help someone feel seen, valued, and supported.

Join us in spreading the message and encouraging everyone to check in with their loved ones.

🌟 Celebrating Everyday Heroes

We are proud to shine a light on Denise, an incredible support worker at our Macleod Day Service, whose compassion and dedication truly inspire those around her. 💙

Here’s what Jo from Reservoir Leisure Centre had to say:
“I have worked at Reservoir Leisure Centre for the past 15 years. In that time, I would like to say that Denise would definitely be the best support worker I've seen. She's hands on and lovely with her clients. Denise always gets in the pool and guides her group with so much care and attention. I have had members of the centre and member of the public often comment on how great she is.”

Thank you, Denise, for making a real difference every day and fostering an inclusive, supportive environment for all. 👏

🌅 Getaways Darwin Adventure! 🐊

Last week, our wonderful Getaways group travelled to Darwin for an adventure filled with joy, discovery, and new friendships.

Landing in the heart of the city, we explored the Botanical Gardens, shared laughter over a thrilling Jumping Crocodile Tour, and enjoyed unforgettable evenings of music and connection under the stars at Buffalo Country. ✨

Our group embraced every experience from high-tech hologram adventures in Palmerston to swimming, delicious meals, and moments of genuine support.

Together, we created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who brought their energy, kindness, and spirit to this journey. We’re so grateful to be part of such an inclusive and uplifting community. 💙

🐥 Building Stronger Teams (One Duck at a Time)

Fostering a workplace culture where everyone feels heard, valued, and connected is so important. At our Narre Warren Day service, Service Coordinator Emma and the team recently introduced a light-hearted and meaningful bonding activity featuring a very special little duck.

Each day, the duck is hidden in a colleague’s locker, desk, or bag along with a positive note. The person who finds it keeps it for the day, then passes it on the next. It’s a simple gesture that’s sparked joy, strengthened relationships, and reminded us of the power of kindness in the workplace.

Here’s what the team had to say:
🔸“Lifted my spirits”
🔸“Such a lovely feeling”
🔸“So much fun”
🔸“Made me feel warm and fuzzy”
🔸“Picked me up”
🔸“What a team we have!”

This initiative is a wonderful example of how small acts of care can make a big impact and why team bonding matters.

🚗 Leanne’s Learner Journey: Driven by Determination 💪

At The Bridge, we’re inspired by the goals our clients set and achieve. Earlier this year, Leanne, who receives one-on-one support through our Your Supports program, set her sights on earning her Learner Permit.

From practicing VicRoads tests on her own to completing pre-tests at the library with just a little reading support, Leanne showed incredible independence and focus. When it came time for the real test, she nailed it answering 27 out of 30 questions correctly and only needing support to read 5!

Leanne’s story is a powerful reminder that with the right support, belief, and determination, anything is possible. We’re so proud of her achievement and can’t wait to see where the road takes her next! 👀

Congratulations Leanne! 🌟

Wear It Purple Day 2025 💜

Today, The Bridge stands alongside rainbow young people and communities across Australia. By wearing purple, we honour love, respect, and the right for every young person to shine.

This year’s theme, “Bold Voices, Bright Futures,” reminds us that every LGBTQIA+ young person deserves to be seen, heard, and supported as they pursue their dreams.

Wear It Purple has grown into a global movement of hope and solidarity, and we’re thrilled to spotlight the incredible artwork by Lee Evatt (He/Them), winner of the Youth Action Council Design Competition, whose vibrant design captures the spirit of this year’s campaign. 🎨✨

The past few days have left our hearts full, filming onsite with the wonderful crew from Freerange Future. 💙

Our marketing team visited a number of sites across our Community and Employment services, capturing the passion and warmth that define The Bridge.

There’s so much happening, with new projects on the way and everyday moments that truly define us. It’s the daily activities, meaningful connections, and caring communities that often create the biggest impact in our lives. 🙌

To every staff member, client, carer, and family who welcomed us and shared a piece of your journey, thank you! And a special shoutout to our amazing team behind the scenes for your care and coordination.

We can’t wait to show you the stories we captured together. Stay tuned, something special is on its way! 👀✨

Recycling for Good: Making a Difference at The Bridge Works ♻️💚

Our team members at The Bridge Works are embracing recycling, turning cans and bottles into positive change. By contributing to Victoria’s container deposit scheme, we’re supporting sustainability, boosting recycling rates, and reducing litter, while also raising valuable funds for our community.

Thanks to everyone’s effort, we’ve already raised over $250 to help make this year’s Supported Employee Christmas Party extra special! Every container counts towards a more inclusive and connected community. 🎉✨
