Update – Barkuma will no longer provide Day Options beyond 28 June 2024.
Barkuma’s new Day Options Autumn program has just started! Day Options sessions are conducted by experienced disability support workers. This creates a welcoming and inclusive program for adults of all abilities. Participants can meet new people, extend friendship networks, and develop valuable life-skills.
Barkuma’s Day Options are split into 12-week programs. Participants can choose from a variety of activities. This gives them the opportunity to experience something new and exciting.
We have created Northern Adelaide Day Options to give the disability community more opportunities to take part in enjoyable activities. These activities are tailored to their interests and objectives.
Barkuma has been dedicated to connecting the community and supporting South Australians with disability for over 60 years. This support helps to build meaningful and productive lives.
We are a trusted provider of disability services in South Australia. We offer peace of mind that our support, experiences and learning opportunities are of the highest quality. This reassurance is beneficial to participants and their families.
The Barkuma difference is a focus on building capacity. Life & Learning activities are all about learning life-skills while having fun.
Learning skills such as self-care, organisation, money handling, budgeting, and food preparation is essential for independence. This independence empowers individuals to make their own choices and have control over their lives.
Health & Wellbeing activities are also offered for people of all fitness levels and ability. Movement, sport, nutrition, relaxation, artistic and creative self-expression are important in helping people having balanced lives to be their best selves.
Socialising and leisure are essential for everyone’s wellbeing. They help people to feel connected and part of a group. Furthermore, they provide opportunities to expand their experience and outlook, as well as explore their interests.
Someone you know may love cooking. Through “Mystery Road” sessions, they can explore the wonders of Central Markets. There, they can find amazing ingredients and multicultural cuisine.
Those with a passion for adventure may expand their enjoyment of the outdoors through hiking or an excursion to the Botanical Gardens.
Barkuma Day Options are not just for daytime support. Participants can explore local restaurants and share a meal with new friends in the evening. They can also play board games or sing-a-long to their favourite movie musicals.
Barkuma’s Day Options are split into 12-week programs. Participants can choose from a variety of activities. This gives them the opportunity to experience something new and exciting. Experienced and qualified staff can support participants with high and complex support needs access and enjoy the program.
Barkuma Day Options allow participants to explore interests and hobbies, expand social experiences, develop communication skills, build relationships… and have fun!
All participants will need a current NDIS plan with NDIS Core budget or NDIS Capacity Building Daily Living budget.
