Out & About in the Community: March Highlights

We’ve had some really lovely moments out in the community recently and wanted to share a few highlights. 💚

It’s always great to see people getting out, trying new things, and enjoying what’s happening around Perth – whether it’s a big local event or a simple day out doing something they enjoy.

Coogee Live

Ella recently headed down to Coogee Live and made the most of a beautiful day by the coast. She enjoyed a swim, grabbed some lunch, and spent time taking in the atmosphere of the event. With so much happening along the foreshore, it was a great opportunity to get out, exercise, enjoy the fresh air, and have a relaxed day by the beach.

Mandurah Crab Fest

Greg also attended the Mandurah Crab Fest and had a great time exploring everything on offer. Bringing back childhood memories, he was able to reminisce, and he especially enjoyed watching the speedboat races and checking out the fishing and crab stalls. There was plenty going on throughout the day, and it was a great chance to be part of such a lively local event.

A Trip to the Cinema

Another highlight for Greg was a trip to the cinema, where he went to see the new Peaky Blinders movie. He was really engaged in the film and said it was one of the best movies he’s seen in a long time. Experiences like going to the cinema are a great way to build confidence in community settings, support social participation, and enjoy shared interests in a relaxed environment.

Moments like these are more than just a day out. They play an important role in building confidence, independence, and meaningful community connections.

The importance of participating in community activities make such a difference to people’s lives. This includes increasing social participation, developing everyday skills, and feeling more connected to the local community. These experiences can also help build routine, encourage decision-making, and create opportunities for new interests to grow.

At Alifa, we love supporting people to work towards their goals in ways that feel natural, enjoyable, and meaningful, because sometimes the best progress comes from simply being part of the community. 💚
