From the desk of Amanda
Time flies! I cant believe its been 3 weeks since our last newsletter!
Internally and behind the scenes, we have been busy preparing for our NDIS Registration Renewal audit. This is our second full renewal audit since our initial registration in 2017, and haven't we come a long way! Precious Angels officially employs 53 people and we support 66 families - this is in Brisbane AND Mackay! And we are adding more new families through the wonderful referrals our community share about our service.
Ensuring all our policies, procedures, processes and training are aligned has been an interesting journey, but I know the foundations are in place for continued expansion and growth.
Thank you to our Angel Families who believed in us and stuck with us. I hope your faith has been rewarded.
We look to the future, and we see SIL/SDA, but also expansion of our Community Day Centre program to encompass future school leavers and provide families with increased options for post school leavers to lead rewarding and interesting lives. We firmly believe everyone deserves the right to thrive, learn and grow, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be valued members of society.
At our core, we just want to help families, and we recognise this changes as people grow and their lives change. So we will grow and change with you.
This weekend I will be taking part in the 10KM RUN ARMY event on Sunday through our beautiful (and deceptively hilly) Brisbane city, starting and finishing in South Bank.

@The Castle
Harmony Day - sharing of Angel Community Cultures, trying new and different tastes and engaging in interesting activities, it's always a great time at The Castle exploring with our senses and engaging with our participants.
Apple's Castle Program for next week is available on Facebook:
Out with the Angels
Lots of outings over school holidays. It's great to see participants explore and learn. Luke is very partial to his scooter, Enoch has been to zoos and water parks, and we've been taking our participants to different venues to eat and experience food and smells they might not normally get to experience.
Don't forget to check facebook for extra photos too.

Finn is our superstar recently! Here's a great shot of Finn enjoying a piggyback ride on Dillon. What a great smile and a great connection between these two!
