Hear What Everyone’s Saying
Up & Over is a wonderful organisation doing amazing things for kids with special needs. 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.

The fabulous and enthusiastic team at Up & Over provide great experiences for my daughter to enjoy. With their support and encouragement, she has been able to "have a go', at new things and discover that they are something that she likes! She eagerly looks forward to the outings and hanging out with her friends and I love the fact that she has a social group where she can feel a sense of belonging.

I love Up & Over because of the activities we do. I like going on the weekend camps - my favourite is Canberra and Jamberoo because they’re super fun and we have great food. Since joining Up & Over I feel like i’ve become more confident in myself from trying lots of new things.

We LOVE the younger generations! Up & Over are young adults hugely committed to justice and accessibility in disability provision. They are professional, passionate, and fearless in what they do. Would I think to take Zoe skateboarding? Ummm NO. But they do! And she loves it! We are endlessly grateful for the high bar set by this crew!
Nellie (Parent)
