🏆 A little reminder for our Ballarat community!

Melbourne Cup Day is coming up, which means our Ballarat office will be taking a short break for the public holiday.

📅 Our Ballarat office will be closed on Tuesday the 3rd of November, reopening as usual on Wednesday the 4th of November.

Today is International Day of Care and Support, a day to recognise the people who make a difference in the lives of others. 🩷

Every day, dedicated support workers, carers, families and communities play an important role in helping people feel supported, valued and empowered to live life on their own terms.

We know that meaningful support goes beyond everyday tasks. It's about listening, understanding individual needs, respecting choices and helping people live a life that's meaningful to them.

Today, we want to acknowledge and thank our wonderful team of support workers and acknowledge everyone who provides care and support with kindness, compassion and respect.

🫶 Your dedication makes a meaningful difference, and we're grateful for all that you do.

💜 Today is Ageism Awareness Day! 💜

Age is just one part of who we are. It doesn't define our abilities, our potential or the value we bring to our communities.

Ageism Awareness Day is a reminder that everyone, regardless of age, deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and equality.

At The Support People, we believe in:

💜 Respecting individuality – recognising every person's unique strengths, experiences and abilities.
🤝 Encouraging independence – supporting people to make their own choices and live life their way.
🌱 Creating opportunities – helping people stay active, connected and involved in their communities.

Age should never be a barrier to inclusion, opportunity or belonging.

Together, let's challenge age-based stereotypes, celebrate people of all ages and build communities where everyone feels valued. 💜

💛 Words like these mean so much to us. 💛

One of our wonderful clients, Annie, recently wrote this poem about The Support People and the team who support her. Annie’s words capture what person-centred support is all about.

She finished her poem with a heartfelt thank you to her support team, saying they treat her like family. 🥰

Thank you, Annie, for taking the time to create something so thoughtful and personal. We absolutely love it, and we're very lucky to have you as part of The Support People community. 💚

🐾 A great day out at The Great Chase! 🎈

The Support People recently headed to the Great Chase in Bendigo, run by Greyhound Racing Victoria - GRV, for a fun day of greyhound racing, socialising and plenty of laughs.

Our participants got into the spirit of the day, cheering on the greyhounds, enjoying the racing and having a little flutter on their favourites. There were also balloons, balloon animals and lots of smiles along the way! 🎈🐕

The Great Chase is a Greyhound Racing Victoria community program that brings together disability groups from across Victoria for an inclusive day at the races.

Days like these are about more than just getting out and about. They're an opportunity to try something different, spend time with friends and feel connected to the local community. 💛

Thanks to everyone involved in making it such an enjoyable day!
