Community
R has only been to a couple of sessions but honestty the best most inclusive club and he had loved
it. Even tlmes of stress he has been supported and safe and its been amazing to have that.
Fanlastic, supportive safe space for families. OGC Staff have buili a lovely Telationship with our
child and have commented on how much he has progressed and developed since attending.
My child was very happy attending and I saw 8ki118 and confidence gfow over time. A wonderful
group where he could just be himself wtthout conformlng to socletal expectatlons that would
knock him down.
A loved AdventUTe club and it was honestly a life saver when she started high school. She was
having a lough time, friendships were breaking down and she didn'l understand whal was
happening and to come to a safe, inclusive, nurturing club was just amazingl She's also had some
health issues, so being able to be herself and work ai her own pace were such a relief for us and
her.
Without question. Such a supportlve and welcoming communty with a great wealth of knowledge
on so many interesting topics. every visrt is a pleasure.
Afthough I could only attend for a few weeks, it really helped my confidence and lifted rny mood.
Some days il was cold or wet but l always felt I'd been produetive and had a posltlve experience.
Thank you to all involved.
Have learned a lot about growing things, and enjoyed the banter and community. I now see food a$
medicine and a gateway lo wellbeing. No longer eat processed food and haven'i been ill in years.
Connecting back to land, community énd the season$ and eyeles of nature has been hugely
beneficial
Reduced social isolation ,feel part of the community after stopping employment
Volunteers
We have an amazing group of volunt88rs who go above and beyond to support Off Grid.
Futuro plans
With the funding in place for 2026127, we are looking forward to continuing to support the
neurodivergent community. working with schools and organisations locally.
We have gone through a lot of expansion and changes to the space, and we are looking
forward to working with what we have developed for the next year or twol
