At Wangarang, participants in our Life Skills & Recreation program choose what they want to learn, explore and experience through our social support.

With guidance from our incredible support team, theyโ€™ve been building their skills in woodwork, and creating some seriously impressive letterboxes along the way! ๐Ÿ”จ

What a weekend it was for a FORAGE!
We hope all the Orange FOOD Week walkers had an amazing day out on the trail.

Wangarang loved being part of it once again, packing the goody bags for 1,200 lucky ticket holders (a tradition weโ€™ve proudly been part of for many years!).

Itโ€™s always such a highlight to contribute to one of Orange's signature tourism events and see the community come together for good food, great company, and even better vibes.

Big smiles, great coffee and an even better cause โ˜•๐Ÿ’›

Today we celebrated the Wangarang Coffee Cart at Dudley Private Hospital โ€” creating real training and employment opportunities for people with disability, while serving up quality coffee for staff, patients and visitors.

Shout out too to Aussie Biscuits from Forbes, baking delicious treats and creating meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Pop in for a coffee, grab a treat and support something making a real difference in our community.

Hip Hip Hooray! Happy 2nd Birthday to our Orange Return & Earn Depot! ๐ŸŽ‰
Two years of collecting cans, reducing waste, and giving back to our community, and what better way to celebrate than with a recycled can cake! (no baking required ๐Ÿ˜‰).

In just two years, our Orange Return & Earn Depot has helped keep over 20 million containers out of landfill, supported local jobs, and made recycling easy for our community. We couldnโ€™t have done it without your support.

Every can and bottle counts!

Meet Rachel, a valued member of our production crew and a familiar, friendly face around Wangarang for the past 15 years!

When asked what sheโ€™s loved most about her time here, Rachel sums it up perfectly: โ€œMaking friends and money.โ€ And she highly recommends Wangarang to anyone looking for meaningful work and great company.

Rachelโ€™s days are busy and varied, from winery services and component assembly to packaging, mailing, shredding, and processing Wangarang Rag. Sheโ€™s always happy to jump in wherever sheโ€™s needed.

The best part of her day? โ€œSeeing friends.โ€

For Rachel, being part of a supportive and social workplace is what makes Wangarang special.

Over the years, sheโ€™s earned certificates recognising her work skills, something sheโ€™s incredibly proud of, along with the many friendships sheโ€™s built along the way.

Three words Rachel uses to describe Wangarang? Inspiring. Fun. Friendly

Outside of work, Rachel enjoys shopping, bowling, going to the movies, and heading off on holidays, especially to Terrigal, one of her favourite getaway spots. And her hidden talent? Dancing!

Her advice for future team members says it all: โ€œCome over โ€“ itโ€™s great!โ€ ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŽ‰ Having fun with party food prep! Our Life Skills and Recreation participants have been learning a classic favourite, fairy bread, while building new skills along the way.
