Gone fishin’ with IDSS 🎣

Hey friends!

Our Bundaberg, Childers and Sunshine Coast Hubs will be closed on Monday 5th October for the public holiday, meaning our fairy teams will be offline.

All supports will continue as usual.

If you need to get anything sorted before then, give us a call on 1300 4377 669 📞

Things got a little scientific at Guys Group this week 🔬

The challenge? Build it, test it, and see what happens.

Who could build the tallest tower?
Whose homemade car could travel the furthest?
Could a LEGO figurine survive a parachute drop?
And whose bridge could handle the pressure?

Plenty of problem-solving, trial and error, teamwork and a bit of friendly competition along the way.

Childers crew, October is looking pretty good 👀

We’ve got Timezone and a Hervey Bay day out, cooking group, Tai Chi practice and so much more.

October plans = sorted 👏

We’ve packed the month with plenty of reasons to get out of the house, try something different and spend time with good people.

From round boats and pickleball to farm days, swimming and a trip to the movies, there’s a bit of everything happening this October.

Keen to join us? Get in touch with the IDSS team to find out more about our Group Activities.

It might look like we’re just having fun. And, well… we are.

But there’s a lot happening in the background of a Group Activity with IDSS.

A trip to the Botanic Gardens and lunch meant getting out of the house, walking around and being active without it feeling like exercise.

It meant ordering food, chatting with staff and building confidence communicating with different people.

It meant spending time together, having conversations, sharing a few laughs and strengthening friendships.

And it meant trying something they might not have chosen to do alone, with mentors there to support, encourage and give things a go alongside them.

That’s the thing about group activities. The skills, confidence, independence and connections don’t always come from sitting down and actively working on them.

Sometimes, they happen while you’re simply out living your life.

And yes, having a bit of fun while you’re at it.

Your week could use a little more IDSS 👀

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on the Sunshine Coast, we’re getting out and about, making things, cooking up a storm and making some noise.

Outdoor activities. Art. Cooking. Music. All disability-inclusive, all about getting involved and having a good time.

The final touches are going on, frames are being sorted and our Bundaberg artists are getting ready to put their work on display 🎨

Our Art of Kindness Exhibition is almost here, taking over The Book Boutique Bundaberg from 9 October to 18 November.

We’re kicking things off on Friday 9 October from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Come along, have a wander, see what everyone’s been working on and show our artists some love. Entry is completely free.

Can’t make the opening? No stress. The exhibition will be on display until 18 November, so there’s plenty of time to pop in.

Outdoor BBQ in the sunshine? Say less 🌭

Monday Madness truly is the place to start your week.
