🎟️ 2 free tickets to DiscoAbility Halloween, thanks to Girls Connect 🎃

Huge shout-out to Ang from Girls Connect, an awesome social group for girls with disability, who has kindly donated 2 tickets to our disco on Saturday 14 November.

If you've seen our past disco videos, you've definitely seen the Girls Connect crew. They're often on the dance floor having an absolute blast. And their support workers are right there with them: in the moment, tuned in, dancing alongside their people and making sure everyone's having the best night. That's what great support looks like. 🙌

This is what I love most about what we're building. It's not one provider doing it alone. It's different groups and providers backing each other so people with disability have more ways to get out, be social and make real mates. Ang and Girls Connect live that every single day. 🧡

Know someone who'd love to come but it hasn't quite worked out for them yet?

Ang wants these tickets to go to someone who'll really enjoy the night, someone for whom cost, timing or just "not this time" has been getting in the way.

You can nominate yourself or someone else (support workers, coordinators, family and friends, we're looking at you 👀).

Just send us a private message with a first name and a line about why they'd love it. No forms, no explaining needed, and it all stays between us.

Nominations close [Wed 11 Nov]. 🧡

For anyone else keen to come, tickets are still available on the website and the events page

🧡 **CAN YOU HELP US SPREAD THE WORD?** 🧡

You might not be looking for a night out yourself, but there's a good chance someone on your friends list is!

DiscoAbility is about creating affordable opportunities for people with disability to get out, have fun, meet people and enjoy a night where they can simply be themselves.

And we're keeping it affordable!

🎟️ **Early Bird Tickets: $20**
💰 $25 after Wednesday 4 November
🤝 Support workers and accompanying supports FREE
🍕 Free pizza
🍿 Sponsored snacks (TY Soteria)

We're keen to welcome everyone, including:

👋 People with disability attending independently
❤️ Family, friends and informal supports
🤝 Support workers and disability service providers
🌟 Anyone who believes in making social opportunities more accessible.

**SO HERE'S WHERE YOU CAN HELP!**

👀 Take a look at what we're doing.
👍 Give the event a share.
👥 Tag someone who might be interested.
📲 Send it to a friend, family member, support worker or someone who works in the disability community.

You never know who might be looking for exactly this sort of opportunity.

And if it's not something for you, that's absolutely fine. You could still help someone else discover it.

We're a small local initiative, and word of mouth makes a massive difference.

**You don't need to buy a ticket to support what we're doing. Sometimes simply sharing a post can help someone find their next night out, make a new connection or meet a new friend.**

We want to see more people with disability enjoying social lives, making connections and having opportunities to get out and about without it costing a fortune.

**Help us make that happen. Share the love, spread the word!** 🧡

Big welcome to our newest Founding Sponsor, Domino's Upper Coomera! 🍕🎉

Some of you know food has been on my to-do list for a while. Good things take a bit of time, and this one was worth the wait 😄

Part of why I look for sponsors is to keep tickets low and get more for the people who come along. Ravi jumped straight on board to help, and he's
sorted our "is there food?" question. Legend! 🙌

Thank you Ravi and the whole team at Domino's Upper Coomera for backing DiscoAbility. You're making a night out better for our people.

XMAS DISCO

Do we want one?

I didn't do one last year as I anticipated people being away, Xmas budgets already being tight, cognitive load with Xmas activities etc

BUT

Maybe I should have actually asked

I was speaking to a Mum, and she said that there are a lot of Xmas activities with the littler kids but not much for teens and adults that still want to see Santa or have that type of Xmas vibe ... or that it might even provide a level of respite for parents who are juggling xmas, wrapping, shopping, SW holidays, their own cognitive load etc

so please ... let me know your thoughts in the comments if you do or dont want one and why ... the more feedback I get the better informed a decision I can make with this :)

Can I give a shoutout to the groups who come along to DiscoAbility? 🕺

One of my favourite things about running these nights is getting to watch the supports. The ones who are up dancing with their people, chatting, laughing and actually there with them. Not on their phone in the corner. It’s genuinely good to see, and it’s what families want to know about the people supporting their loved ones.

With funding cuts hitting social and community supports, joining a group is going to be the best option for a lot of people. Not everyone can or wants to be in one, and that’s fine. But for those who can, I’d love to help the wider community see the good groups out there who get out in public and have a great time with their participants.

So here’s my idea. Any group that brings their people to 3 or more discos becomes a Disco Regular 🎉 I’ll catch up with you for a chat, write a blog about your group and give you a shoutout here on Facebook. I’m also happy to do this for groups who have already been along to 3 or more, so if that’s you, get in touch.

This isn’t mandatory, it’s just my way of saying thanks and helping our community find each other. Any photos or interviews will only happen with your say-so, and with consent from your participants and families.

To our 1:1 supports, I haven’t forgotten you 😉

Message me if your group has been to a few and I’ll get you on the list.

Big welcome to our newest Founding Sponsor, Roving Nurses! 🎉💙

These legends have sponsored our venue hire for DiscoAbility, which means we can keep ticket prices low and keep the dance floor open to everyone.

Roving Nurses are registered nurses who come to you at home across Tweed Heads, the Gold Coast, Logan and Brisbane, and they’re a registered NDIS provider. They help with things like wound care, continence assessments, catheter care and medication management, and they train support workers too. They work closely with participants, families and their teams to make care easier to manage.

I asked Fatma why they wanted to get behind a disco, and this is what she said:

“What I love about DiscoAbility is that it gives people the chance to meet someone new, make friends and enjoy a night out together. Working in community nursing, we’re often involved in the clinical side of people’s lives, but connection and having fun matter too. I’m proud that Roving Nurses can support an event that brings participants together beyond their usual support circles. Everyone deserves a good night out!”

Nurses who want you to have a great night out. Love it. Thank you Fatma and the whole Roving Nurses team 🕺💃
