We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and appreciate your continued support over these past three years of growth and learning.

This year, we expanded to five weekly small groups criss crossing around the Barrington Coast and also added in our hugely popular Saturday day trips, visiting places like Port Stephens, Dungog, Stroud, Dorrigo National Park, Bellingen, and Caves Beach.

We would also like to take the opportunity to recognise two of our participants for their achievements during the year.

Firstly, Kirsty, you have just strengthened in leaps and bounds this year. We are so proud of you starting work and now working three days a week as well as fitting in two day trips a week with us. You are always there to help. Where would we be without that giggle of yours?

Secondly, Deb. What an amazing artist you are. This year has seen you showcase some inspiring work. And not only craft and painting – your biscuits did very well at Bulahdelah Show!

We’re continually inspired by the enthusiasm and achievements of our participants, and we’re committed to providing even more opportunities for everyone to learn, share and celebrate together.

As we reflect on all that’s happened this year, we’re excited to see what’s ahead for us. With more groups exploring the Barrington Coast and new adventures on the horizon, there’s plenty to look forward to in 2026.

Thanks once again for being part of our journey—here’s to another year of mateship, meaningful experiences and good times for all.

We held our annual Christmas BBQ last weekend, marking three years supporting participants in the Taree to Forster area. Thanks to all participants who attended, including families and support workers, and special thanks to staff for their assistance. Our annual questionnaire created a few laughs and some thoughtful moments. All entries went into the draw for two gift vouchers—congrats to winners Gavin and Dushka.

Everyone pitched in to make the day run smoothly, and it was a great opportunity for new faces to join in and get to know other participants. Ray provided lively music which got people dancing.

So goodbye 2025 and bring on 2026 with more exciting day trips with Valerie, Kim and Staff.

This week's photos are going to show some very happy participants enjoying dolphin watching at Forster on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Two fantastic short trips were had with Aussie Boat Shed and their skipper, Lenny. The staff really made sure that everyone was assisted where needed and Lenny told us a lot about Wallis Lake.

This was all followed by a bbq lunch, fishing and swimming and a surprise birthday celebration. We also celebrated Jess's touch teams disability division win at Port Macquarie on the weekend.

Thursday's group headed up to Wauchope for a walk starting at Rocks Ferry Reserve and following the sculpture trail around the river.

This years interactions among participants have been truly heartwarming. Throughout our group activities, it has been endearing to witness everyone helping and engaging in conversations, particularly with those who recently just joined us.

This peer support is a source of pride for us, as it highlights the positive and inclusive environment fostered within our groups.

CHANGE OF VENUE

Due to the concerns of hot weather and bushfires, we have moved our annual Christmas BBQ to Manning River Sailing Club, down by the Manning River at 78 River Street, Taree.

All our participants and families are welcome. We will not be offering supports during the festive fun but you are welcome to be supported by your own support worker.

We will, however, be offering pick up and drop offs, just charging for kms.

Could everyone please just reconfirm that you will still be coming and if you require a lift or not?

Thanks

Valerie & Kim
