LifeSkills Express
The LifeSkills Express program aims to deliver a high quality and eclectic range of
courses and opportunities for people living with a diversity of challenges.
LifeSkills Express aims to:
• build skills in a range of areas to enable participants to take significant steps towards
independence, further study and, potentially, volunteering and employment.
• build self-confidence through practical, creative and engaging activities that will
provide challenges as well as fun and enjoyment.
• provide enterprising opportunities leading to participants becoming more engaged in their community.
This person-centred program is designed to deliver learning and skills development in a holistic, experiential manner, focusing on strengths rather than limitations.
It provides a blend of life and independent living skills interspersed with the personal
tools needed to encourage self-reliance, enable the realisation of individual capacities and potential, and fulfil the needs and aspirations of each individual to achieve valued roles in the community.

The Absolutely Everybody Choir is for anyone living with challenges including those with disabilities, homeless, mental ill-health, at risk or victims of domestic violence. Come along and sing along - this is for you!
