Saturday 1:1 Support with Troy – let’s see what he got up to! 🎉

On Saturday, Troy enjoyed a fun-filled day of 1:1 support, and he had the whole day planned out!

He kicked off the morning by visiting a friend, playing games, and sharing plenty of laughs over lunch. Afterwards, Troy enjoyed a peaceful picnic at the park, soaking up the beautiful weather.

Next up, it was game on! 🎳 Troy challenged his support worker to two rounds of bowling and won both, a well-deserved victory he was very proud of! 🏆

To finish off a great day, Troy went shopping and picked up a few new treasures.

At C2A, our 1:1 supports are all about making it your day, your way! Whether that’s in the community or at home.
👉 Contact us today to find out how we can support you with 1:1 or group-based supports, at home or in the community.

Rain? What rain! 🌧️
On Saturday, this group headed out to the Dandenong Show, and despite the wet and wild weather, we made the most of it and had an amazing day! We braved the rides, checked out the agricultural shed, and of course, it wouldn’t be a trip to the show without some show bags!

Afterwards, we enjoyed a delicious lunch together at La Porchetta and finished the day with ice cream Because a little rain can’t stop us from having a great time!

Swipe to see their journey together, from 2018 through to today!
It’s so special to look back at memories and see how much everyone has grown and changed over the years, with one thing staying the same: the incredible care, connection, and rapport between our staff and participants.

At C2A, our staff take great pride in what they do, showing genuine care and passion for the people we support every single day.
Not only do we make a difference in the lives of our participants, but they make a huge difference in ours too.

No matter the day, Pam will always greet you with a hand-drawn picture and a cheerful “You look lovely today!” It’s these moments that remind us why we love what we do, the connections, the laughter, and the mutual respect that make our community so special.

Here’s to the memories, the friendships, and the beautiful people who make C2A what it is today.
