COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION

Supporting You to Live Life Fully

Being part of the community can mean different things to different people, and at DYSS, we’re here to make that happen in a way that’s comfortable and meaningful for you. Our community participation supports help you connect with local activities, build new skills, and take part in social opportunities that bring joy and confidence. We know that getting out there isn’t always easy, especially for those who’ve been through difficult situations. That’s why we focus on creating positive, safe experiences that empower you to explore what’s out there, one step at a time.

Helping You Get Involved, Your Way

Community Participation That’s All About You

We go beyond simply taking you out—we’re all about making sure your time in the community is valuable and enjoyable. Whether it’s joining a social group, volunteering, or just getting to know the local area, our support is tailored to your interests and comfort level. Here’s how we help make community participation work for you:

Building Confidence Step-by-Step

Feeling confident in new settings can take time. We’ll be there to provide encouragement, help you manage any anxiety, and support you at your own pace. It’s all about building positive experiences, whether it’s your first time trying something new or you’re looking to re-engage after time away.

Social and Recreational Activities

From local clubs and sports groups to creative workshops and coffee catch-ups, we’re here to connect you with activities that spark your interest. We’ll organise outings that match your preferences, providing as much (or as little) assistance as you need to enjoy getting involved.

Exploring Independence Safely

If your goal is to navigate community spaces on your own, we’ll help you build the skills to get there. This could include support with using public transport, handling money for small purchases, or practicing independent travel to familiar places until you’re confident to go solo.
