And you don’t have to book the whole holidays — pick one day, a few favourites, or join us for as many as you like.

🍴 **Global Kitchens has been on the move!**

For the last two weeks, we’ve stepped outside our usual commercial kitchen and changed things up with some special cooking adventures!

First up, we headed outdoors for a BBQ session, making chicken skewers, chilli corn and fresh homemade coleslaw. Everyone got involved, tried new things and the food was SO good!

Then last week, we took over Art Escape for a very special High Tea. Our crew spent the morning preparing all the little goodies, setting everything up and, of course, enjoying the finished result together.

One of our favourite things about Global Kitchens is that it’s not *just* about learning to cook.

It’s about building confidence, trying new things, developing everyday skills, working together and having fun along the way. 💛

Next week we’re back in the commercial kitchen… but we definitely have more Global Kitchens adventures planned!

Three awards. Three reminders that courage pays off.

When Ezra joined Diverse Ventures, they had a passion for photography and a dream of turning it into something more.

Since then, they’ve stepped outside their comfort zone time and time again…building a business East Coast Pet and Wildlife Photography, putting their work out into the world, and now… being recognised with three Highly Commended awards at the Pine Rivers Show! 📸🏆

Success doesn’t come from waiting until you feel ready.

It comes from taking the next brave step.

Fortune favours the brave.

We couldn’t be prouder of everything Ezra has achieved and the confidence they’ve built along the way. This is exactly why Diverse Ventures exists—to help young people discover what’s possible when they’re supported to pursue what they love.

Congratulations, Ezra. This is only the beginning.

We’re incredibly honoured to have received a Queensland Day Award in recognition of the work we do at Marching Forward.

What makes this award so special is that it represents something much bigger than Lou and me.

It belongs to every young person who has trusted us, every family who has invited us into their journey, and every incredible member of our team who shows up each day with compassion, patience and heart.

Seven years ago, Marching Forward began from lived experience and a simple hope…to create the kind of support we wished had existed. A place where participants feel safe, seen and heard, and where families feel genuinely supported too.

Seeing that vision recognised is incredibly humbling.

Thank you to Nikki Boyd MP for this honour, and congratulations to all of the other amazing recipients making a difference in our community.

Here’s to continuing to build connection, confidence and belonging for many more years to come.

Our Saturday Social Club is here!

A warm, welcoming space where kids and teens (5–15) can just be themselves — make friends, try new things, and feel safe, seen and heard. 💛

Every Saturday in Mango Hill, they'll dive into:
🍳 Cooking & healthy food choices
🎨 Art & creativity
🏀 Sport & outdoor games
🎲 Board games & real connection

And here's the part we're proudest of — food and every activity are completely included. The NDIS doesn't fund those, so we cover them ourselves, because we never want cost to be the reason a child misses out.

✔️ NDIS funded · Registered NDIS provider
📍 Mango Hill · Saturdays 10am–1:30pm
📅 Starts Saturday 15 August
🎟️ Limited spots available

Give your child a Saturday to look forward to. Tap the link to book — new families and existing clients both welcome. 👇

🥳💕 HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY, MICHAELLA! 💕🥳

What a way to celebrate your birthday week!! 🧁🎉

We are SO incredibly proud to see Michaella’s beautiful creations from Lil Bakes By Michaella officially stocked and SELLING at her local IGA! 🥹🙌

And because it’s her birthday week, she’s made it extra special with a limited-edition CONFETTI flavour. Because really… what better flavour for a birthday week?!

Watching Michaella take her passion for baking and turn it into a real business has been such an exciting part of her Diverse Ventures journey. From developing her products and building her brand to now seeing something she created sitting on actual supermarket shelves… these are the moments we LOVE celebrating!

Happy 23rd Birthday, Michaella! We hope you’re incredibly proud of yourself and everything you’re achieving.

Now go grab one of those limited-edition confetti treats before they’re gone! 🎉🧁💕
