Yarnbrook Garden Beds
Clients and staff at Learning and Lifestyle program have
introduced a new gardening program into their days at
Yarnbrook cottages. It’s all part of a new initiative for clients to
be involved in the planting, maintaining and of course, at the end,
eating the fruit and veg - reaping the rewards of their hard work.
The first garden bed has already been completed containing: beans,
beetroot, lettuce and carrots. We were very grateful for the support
of the Bunnings store who sent two lovely volunteers to show us
not only how to set up our garden, but for all the materials they
donated such as gloves, seedlings, fertilizer and soil. They also spent
time showing us how to turn the soil, plant, mulch, weed and water
the garden bed to ensure things grew. The plan is to continue this
momentum and utilise the entire backyard to be a food bowl for
Yarnbrook Cottages.

Dream Ride Australia 2019
Our clients were so excited to be able to attend this very special
event - they were individually afforded a ride in an array of authentic vehicles and on return they were able to
experience a walk down the red carpet to receive their special medals.
The day was packed full of fun with dancing, rides, face painting, B.B.Q lunch and much more. All participants also
received a dream ride t-shirt. A fantastic day had by all.
The Dream Ride Experience is more than just an event; it is a movement of making dreams come true.
The Dream Ride Experience is a day showcasing cars and family fun, all benefiting a worthy cause. The day honours
men, women and children living with intellectual disabilities in our communities, and highlights their determination
and perseverance to overcome challenges, and shatter stereotypes. Hundreds of engine enthusiasts gather at Wigley
Reserve to provide an exhilarating ride to the Dream Ride Participants.
The 2019 Dream Ride will depart Glenelg and journey to Henley Beach via the CBD before returning to Wigley
Reserve. The participants with intellectual disabilities will then be honoured with a red carpet affair and medal
presentation. You have the ability to make a difference by giving an experience they can only dream of.
