🛍️ SLES Group hard at work!

This session focused on preparing items for online sale — building practical skills in presentation, teamwork, and retail readiness. From sorting through stock to getting everything ready for listing, the group put in a fantastic effort.

And in true team spirit, one of our participants was kind enough to offer everyone a “hand” 😂👏

A fun and productive session with plenty of laughs along the way! ✨

A productive and practical session all round! 👏

This participant had a great day focused on building independence and everyday life skills. The session included completing a monthly planner, heading to the shops to create a shopping list and budget for packed lunches, and practising how to withdraw and deposit cash at an ATM.

A strong mix of planning, budgeting, and money management — all important steps toward confidence and independence. 💳🛒🗓️✨

A fantastic morning at UpLoved! 👏✨

One of our participants noticed the February consignment payments needed sorting and, without any prompting, got straight to work.

It’s so great to see that level of initiative, responsibility, and confidence growing in the store environment. Identifying tasks independently and following through is a huge workplace skill. 🙌

Amazing effort!

🐾 Commitment in action at AWL!

From completing stock runs to keeping everything organised behind the scenes, there’s always something to be done — and plenty of opportunities to build real workplace skills.

Keep an eye out… can you spot the two cats in the first photo? 👀🐱

Volunteering here isn’t just rewarding (hello, cat cuddles!) — it’s a great way to develop responsibility, teamwork, and practical skills in a real-world environment. 💛

A busy and productive session at UpLoved! 🛍️

The focus was on pricing and hanging new items, keeping the store fresh and organised. With a few customers coming through during the session, it was also a great chance to practise customer service, engagement, and time management — all key skills for a real retail environment.

A solid effort and a great example of teamwork and focus in action! ✨

🎬 Exploring new industries and stepping outside the comfort zone!

The group attended an information session about opportunities to work as film and TV extras — a great chance to hear directly about a different industry and what employers expect from people on set.

Participants were encouraged to present in smart casual attire, practising an important job-ready skill: dressing appropriately for professional environments. Experiences like this also help build confidence in navigating new settings, listening to expectations, and engaging respectfully with presenters.

Trying something unfamiliar can feel a little uncomfortable at first, but these moments are valuable practice for future employment opportunities — learning how to show up, present well, and explore a wide range of industries.

A great morning of learning, followed by a well-earned lunch outing together! 🍽️✨

📧 Getting savvy with emails!

This session focused on using communication skills to solve a real-life challenge. Some concerns had come up around a few groups being attended, so rather than sitting on the frustration, the decision was made to take positive action and contact the support coordinator directly.

An email was drafted and sent outlining the concerns — a great step in advocating for personal needs and communicating clearly. Sometimes taking that small step can lift a big weight off the shoulders, and it definitely helped turn the mood around! ✨

A productive morning at Uploved! 👕✨

A big batch of new items were listed and priced, getting them ready for the racks and their next home. A great effort and a solid contribution to keeping the store stocked and organised. ✔️💪

Dinner prep in action! 🍽️

Beef Stroganoff was the meal of choice for this session. While making it completely from scratch wasn’t on the cards, a compromise was reached — adding two cups of veggies to boost the nutrition. Frozen spinach made a surprise appearance too; a quick, easy, and very well-hidden veggie option! 😄

A great session focused on practical cooking skills, teamwork, and finding simple ways to make everyday meals a little healthier. 🥦✨

A tasty session in the kitchen! 🍽️

This week’s meal choice was bangers and mash, and the plan went from idea to plate — with a quick stop at the supermarket to grab the ingredients. After a little convincing, some veggies made their way onto the menu too 😅

From choosing ingredients at the shops to cooking everything up in the kitchen, it’s great to see confidence and decision-making continuing to grow each session. A delicious result and some awesome life skills in action! 👏🥔

A focused session building momentum toward employment goals! ✨

This participant continued actively searching and applying for roles aligned with their interests, submitting applications for a FOH café position as well as a role with a local library. In the library application, they thoughtfully highlighted their love of reading and interest in supporting emerging authors — a great example of tailoring an application to the role. 📚

The TAFE pathway discussed previously is still being considered, with plans to talk it through with family ahead of the April intake. A steady and productive session showing persistence and growing clarity around future direction.

A valuable volunteering session at the Baby Give Back warehouse! 💛

The morning began in the “alley,” sorting donated clothing by size before progressing to the next stage — quality checking. This involved carefully assessing each item for the correct size, checking for marks or damage, and ensuring buttons and zips were in good working order so the clothing is ready to be packed and delivered to families in need.

A fantastic eye for detail was on display, quickly spotting marks that others may have missed — something the volunteer team greatly appreciated, as maintaining high standards is essential to the service they provide. A great contribution and another step forward in building confidence and workplace-ready skills. ✨
