This is YAY Living and Learning, our community day program in Ormond. Art, cooking, barista training, creative workshops and a wellbeing day, running Tuesday to Saturday. Come for one session a week or every one of them. Drop in if you like, an RSVP just means the kettle is on.
NDIS community participation
An NDIS day program is funded under community participation, and it should do two things at once. Build a real skill, and put you in a room with people you click with. Plenty of programs manage one and forget the other.
Ours runs from our Ormond centre with a proper kitchen, a real coffee machine and an art space. Pick one session, pick a few, or come every day we are open. Change your mind whenever you want.
You are greeted by name and shown where the kettle is
A workshop with a proper start, middle and something to take home
A shared table, a chat, and a couple of new faces
Support on hand the whole time if you want itFour workshops we run week in, week out. Tap through for the full run-down, times and how to get started.
Paint, draw, print and make. Two sessions a week for anyone who wants to get their hands messy and try something new.

We run Tuesday to Saturday. Some people come once a week, some come most days. You can change your days as you go, and you will not be pushed to commit to more than you want.
Yes, and we would rather you did. Come in, have a look, sit in on a session, meet a few people. There is no obligation and no pressure.
At our centre at 437 North Road, Ormond, close to Ormond station. We support participants travelling from across Greater Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.
Not at all. We have experienced, trained support workers on hand. If you would like dedicated one to one support during a session or transport to and from, just ask and we will sort it.
A day built around self care, friendship and feeling good in your own skin. Skincare and makeup, a proper pamper session, crafts, and enough good food to keep everyone happy.
It started as a one off and went down so well that people asked for it back. If you would like to come along to the next one, just say the word.
