At Giving Hand, we believe that great support means more than just care, it’s about connection, enjoyment, and the freedom to live life your way. One of the ways we bring this to life is through our range of NDIS-funded recreational and lifestyle activities, thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs and interests of each participant.
If you’ve ever wondered “What kind of activities are available for NDIS participants?” this guide will walk you through the wide variety of options we offer, both in our Centre Based Group Activities Program and through individual in-home and community-based support.
Centre Based Group Day Programs That Build Confidence and Community
Our Centre Based Group Day Programs are welcoming, inclusive, and designed to bring people together. Each activity is developed with fun, wellbeing, and personal growth in mind. Whether it’s creative, active, social, or educational, every day is a chance to build skills and create meaningful connections. Here’s a look at what participants enjoy in our group programs:
Bowling, Soccer and Basketball
Sports days are a great way to build confidence and enjoy movement in a relaxed, supportive environment. Whether someone loves being active or just wants to be part of the team, there’s space for everyone to join in.
Train Transport Days
We help participants gain independence while exploring Sydney and learning how to use public transport safely and confidently.
Museum Visits and Cultural Experiences
Outings to museums and exhibitions help foster curiosity, spark conversation, and open doors to new interests and ideas.
Cooking Classes
From preparing simple meals to learning about nutrition, our cooking classes are both fun and practical, helping participants build skills they can use at home.
Art, Clay and Craft Sessions
These hands-on activities are about more than creativity, they help with expression, focus, and self-esteem.
Zumba, Dance and Movement Classes
Physical activity doesn’t need to be intimidating. Our movement classes are inclusive, uplifting, and tailored to suit different energy levels and abilities.
Gym and Exercise Programs
Staying active is important for both physical and mental health. We support participants in building fitness in a safe, supervised setting.
Shopping Experiences
From budgeting to making choices in-store, our shopping outings support independence while offering real-life skills in a social setting.
BBQ Lunches and Cinema Outings
Sometimes the best days are simple ones, sharing a meal, watching a movie, and enjoying time together. These social experiences are an important part of feeling connected.
Other Activities for NDIS Participants
Not every NDIS participant wants to be in a group setting, and that’s okay. Here is some of the other everyday support we offer:
Personal Care and Hygiene
We offer respectful, reliable assistance with daily tasks including showering, grooming, dressing, and toileting, with dignity always at the forefront.
Nutrition and Meal Preparation
Our support staff help plan, prepare, and cook healthy meals tailored to your preferences, dietary needs, and cultural background.
Cleaning and Laundry
A clean home is a calm home. We assist with domestic tasks like vacuuming, washing, and organising to help maintain a safe and comfortable environment.
Shopping and Errands
We support participants with errands like grocery shopping, attending appointments, or picking up essentials, always with a focus on building confidence and independence.
Companionship and Socialising
Sometimes, support simply means having someone by your side, for conversation, shared activities, or emotional wellbeing.
Home and Garden Maintenance
We assist with light maintenance tasks that help keep your living space tidy, safe, and functional.
Therapist Appointments and Transport
We ensure participants can attend therapy, medical, or specialist appointments on time, and offer transport to and from these services.
Gym and Physical Activity Transport
We encourage active lifestyles by helping participants get to gyms, swimming pools, or other fitness locations safely and regularly.
Supporting Every Version of a Good Day
At Giving Hand, we know that every person has their own idea of what makes a great day, for some, it’s a creative art class or lunch with friends. For others, it’s the comfort of routine, support with daily tasks, or the satisfaction of ticking off a to-do list.
We offer a flexible mix of group activities and individual support to ensure that each participant is able to thrive in a way that’s right for them. Our services are always shaped by personal preferences, NDIS goals, and a commitment to making every day meaningful.
We’re always adding to our programs and adjusting based on participant feedback, interests, and seasonal events. To see what we’ve been up to lately, check out our social media pages where we share stories, photos, and upcoming events. Want to join our group activity days?
