So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

Darian develops tailored general fitness and wellbeing programs for each LOVE HOPE COMMUNITY consumer. The programs are developed with direct input from consumers and are focused on several core objectives:
1. General fitness focus which aims to provide the consumer with a challenging yet achievable fitness workout that increases the consumer’s overall fitness and provides them with a balanced set of physical challenges that can be worked on by the consumer during their own personal time during their respite stay at “HIGH VIEW”.
2. Team building and participation focus where activities and challenges are designed based on each consumer’s unique strengths and abilities and each participant engages with the activity whereby their participation triggers engagement with other members of the community – individually tailored group sports challenges where community spirit is developed and the participation by all the consumers equates to new friendships and a fun team building experience.
Inclusive & Engaging
Session’s will be structured around developing fine motor skills, balance, co-ordination, body awareness and autonomy. Studies have shown that integrating fitness programs into the lifestyle of a disability affected person not just improves quality of life but tics and behaviours prevalent in certain abilities.


Developing Resiliance
From a well-being perspective, Paul will run regular mindfulness activities which may include short meditations, mindfulness drawing and art therapy while also sharing life changing well-being tools such as listening to podcasts from the disability community that are inspirational and easy to digest along with regular inspirational quotes and recovery prayers.
