The Grove – Tableland Community Link Activities Centre
Atherton
Tableland Community Link (TCL) is a not-for-profit organisation that provides individual and group support for people with disabilities and/or mental illness to have opportunities that increase their connection and sense of belonging within their community.
This includes all types of community options that complement a holistic lifestyle. The support is negotiated between the person with the disability and/or advocate and the service. Support Workers direct their efforts towards increasing the independence of the person with the ultimate aim of complete community interconnection wherever possible.
Our wish is that people with disabilities are welcomed, valued, and accepted and have a genuine sense of belonging within their community. People with disabilities have the same rights as other community members regarding everyday life experiences, opportunities, and responsibilities. They also have a lot to offer if they are given the opportunity to link into their community. We provide the support to bridge the gap between their ambitions and dreams and the barriers that society (often unwittingly) puts before them.
OUR VISION
To provide a dedicated space for marginalised people in the community to have a social life and practice self-expression.
We encourage opportunities for the community to volunteer their skills in way of activities or be involved in the activities we offer.
