What a way to wrap up our school holiday program! Our trip to Dopamine Land was packed with fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments. From glowing lights to interactive experiences, it was the perfect sensory adventure to end the holidays.The journey itself was part of the fun—we took the train, building confidence and independence while exploring together.Although the school holiday program has come to an end, we can’t wait to see everyone back for our weekend activities as part of our term program!

Today was all about good vibes and epic adventures! We kicked things off with some fun at the skate park 🛹, cooled off with a swim and spa session 🏊‍♀️💆‍♂️, and topped it all off with a lunch outing and some delicious chocolate-making magic! 🍴🍫

Moments like these remind us how amazing it is to build confidence, friendships, and memories—all while working towards NDIS goals! 🙌💛

Nothing beats a day out with friends, soaking up the sunshine, and having a blast at Holey Moley! 🎉⛳️ A few legends in our group even caught the train into the city—working towards those NDIS plan goals while having FUN! 🚊👏It’s not just mini-golf—it’s confidence building, social connections, and epic memories! 🥳💛

🌞 We’re Back in Action! 🌞

Our first day back after the Christmas break was nothing short of magical! Today, our school holiday program took us to Maleny Bird World, where we spent an incredible day meeting beautiful birds, friendly farm animals, and soaking up the sunshine.

From colourful feathers to happy giggles, it was a day filled with smiles, curiosity, and connection.

We’re so excited for what’s to come these holidays – let the adventures begin!

I am so excited to FINALLY share this!!!...

As you know from my last two posts, we have been soooo busy behind the scenes working on what the future of Marching Forward looks like. Finally, I can release our WEBSITE AND PROGRAM...
www.marchingforward.com.au

Jump on there to see that, not only, are we offering community programs, we have secured a hub that will hold some FANTASTIC (sorry for all the shouty capitals but I am just so happy!) in-house events AND our STA/Respite page will go out next week to cover the whole of next year (we know how important the group STA are for some of our valued participants). We have made it easy as, just click the event on the website and away you go.

Also, we can now officially welcome the awesome Alicia Hagen on board. Marching Forward will now be made up of Lou, Alicia and a team of awesome staff. Due to personal reasons Sarah had to pull back and we wish her nothing but good wishes!

Get ready for an influx of social media updates and hearing my voice (let's be honest silence isn't my strongest point hahaha).

At Marching Forward, we’re passionate about creating fun and engaging activities that help children and teens build connections and thrive in their community.

We were meant to release the holiday program at the beginning of the week. Then we received the news regarding Art and Music Therapy. Honestly I'm at a loss for words, and so exhausted by it all! Please stand with us by signing the petition ❤️
