Willing & Able Port Macquarie invites locals to get involved

WILLING & Able Port Macquarie is inviting locals to get involved in a range of safe, inclusive and engaging activities that foster connection, skills and personal growth.

Groups run Tuesday to Friday each week between 8.30am and 3.30pm, with times varying across different days. Participants can take part in structured group programs or one-on-one support in-home or out in the community.

From its Op Shop and Coffee Bar to hands-on services such as woodworking, assembly and packaging, reuse and recycling, and laundry – the organisation provides spaces where every individual’s contribution is valued – creating meaningful opportunities for people of all abilities.

The Foundation recently celebrated a milestone, sharing that “after two and a half months of hard work, our dedicated, supported employees have successfully completed 15,000 tomato stakes for Olive Grove, Hunter Valley.

“A major milestone for the team.

“Huge thanks to Josh, Jarren, Jay, Pete and Sam for their consistent teamwork.

“We love celebrating the impact of meaningful work, one stake at a time.”

Locals are encouraged to play a part in building an inclusive community that celebrates ability, encourages independence and promotes shared success by supporting Willing & Able through shopping, volunteering or engaging with its programs.

For more information about group activities or individual support tailored to your needs, call 02 6581 0939.
