Eden Independence · Community participation
Community support shaped around your interests and goals.
Plan accessible, meaningful activities with the right level of preparation, communication and disability support.
Four activity directions
Start with what the participant actually wants to do
Activities are examples, not fixed packages. Each plan should consider funding, personal goals, accessibility, transport, risk and the participant’s preferred pace.
Community activities
Libraries, markets, cafés, clubs, volunteering, local events and places that support everyday connection.
Outdoor activities
Accessible parks, walking routes, gardens, beaches, picnics and low-pressure recreation.
Skills and interests
Cooking, art, technology, music, shopping, travel training and other participant-chosen interests.
Entertainment and events
Cinema, sport, performances, exhibitions and events after checking access, sensory and support needs.
Co-designed activity planning
From an idea to a supported outing
