Empowering People With Disabilities

Up & Over provides social opportunities that allow participants to stretch their boundaries, build confidence, achieve their goals and develop long lasting relationships with their peers.

We work with families and individuals to develop tailored, high quality social opportunities to help you stay connected with your friends and participate in the activities that you want!

Up & Over believes that people with disabilities should enjoy choice and control over their lives. We believe that everyone should have access to new opportunities and be given the chance to extend the limits of their ability.

Our son Luke is so excited to participate in all the activities offered. The activities are exciting, fun and always different according to Luke, and he loves socialising with all of the kids and carers. His confidence has blossomed as a result.
As parents we feel relaxed and confident knowing our son is being looked after by such a great team of professional carers.
