1800 940 515What are Social Clubs?
Social Clubs are a fun and engaging way for children to build social skills and make friends, while doing something they love!
Social Clubs are run from our Ballina hub and are based on activities such as: Lego, Tech Heads, Art & Craft, Explorers. We have a range of clubs available; after school, on weekends and over the school holidays.
We understand the unique challenges children with a disability can face in a social environment. Practicing these skills in a small, familiar group, while being supported by experienced facilitators, can foster children’s confidence and self-esteem.
