Why Families Love This Program
Finding age-appropriate social opportunities can be tough. This program fills that gap with warmth, structure, and real fun. Why it works:
✓ Consistent staff and participants foster friendships
✓ Designed for adults, not kids

We focus on doing things that feel meaningful — because confidence grows when people feel seen, supported, and proud of what they’re achieving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do participants get to choose what we do on the night?
Yes. Participants are encouraged to have a say in the activities, whether that’s choosing a venue, planning a budget, or deciding what kind of night they’re in the mood for. Choice and autonomy are a big part of what makes Friday Night Socials special.
Is this program suitable for someone who is shy or new to social groups?
Absolutely. Many participants join to build social confidence at their own pace. The environment is welcoming, low-pressure, and supported by a team who help everyone feel included and comfortable.
What level of support is provided during the evening?
Support is tailored to the group and individual needs, with ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:4. Staff are there to support safety, confidence, and independence — without taking over the social experience.
Does NDIS funding cover 18+ Monthly Events?
Yes. Participants may be able to use Core Supports or Capacity Building funding to access Friday Night Socials. If you’re unsure what funding applies, we’re happy to talk it through with you.
