Chris' support and encouragement of Xavier has been instrumental in him obtaining work as a volunteer with RSPCA. Xavier's pride at having a 'job' is heartwarming to see. Xavier is always keen to head out the door with Chris, he comes home with tall tales and a huge smile, looking forward to their next adventure. As a family we feel extremely fortunate to have a man like Chris in Xavier's life, he is a wonderful role model, support worker and treats all with respect.

Social & community participation, answered
What is NDIS social and community participation?
NDIS social and community participation supports help participants engage in activities outside the home, build friendships, develop skills and become more involved in their local community.
What activities can Horizons support with?
Our team can assist with social outings, community events, hobbies, fitness activities, group programs and everyday experiences that help participants build confidence and connection.
Do you provide support across Brisbane?
Yes. Horizons Support Network provides NDIS social and community participation support across Brisbane and surrounding areas.
Who can use Horizons for social and community participation?
Horizons supports self-managed and plan-managed participants only; we do not support NDIA-managed participants. The support must fit the participant's current plan and service agreement. A funded Support Coordinator can help connect and implement supports, while a plan manager can help with budget, invoice and payment questions.
