Rebecca’s Story

Rebecca has been a client with The Bridge since 2014 and accesses In Home and Community (Your Supports), Beaconsfield Day program and Support Coordination services.

Woman wearing headphones in a red patterned dress dances with a man in a red shirt, judges seated behind them.

It’s through Your Supports that she has discovered her love and talent for dancing. Rebeccas requested to be in the National Rock and Roll dance competition to show everyone that people with special abilities can dance and participate. She blew everyone away with some complex moves to receive a prize in the showcase selection category.

She attended the dance competition along with her support worker, Sam and her dance partner, Grant and also her uncle, nana and proud parents Wayne and Lesley.

Wayne said afterwards, “Rebecca only started dance lessons six months ago through Your Supports and now attends every week. This amazing service is there so people like my daughter can achieve their goals. It opens up potential opportunities for people with all abilities to do the things they love.”
