Being part of the community is about more than just getting out of the house — it’s about connection, confidence, and growth. Under the NDIS Core Supports, Community Participation helps you take part in activities that are fun, meaningful, and tailored to your interests.
At Friends Community Care, we support participants to explore new opportunities and build strong social connections. Here are 10 great activities you can try with NDIS Community Participation support.
Top 10 NDIS Community Participation Activities
1. Join a Local Sports or Fitness Group
Stay active while meeting new people. From walking clubs to yoga classes, exercise is a great way to boost both physical and mental health.
2. Attend Community Events & Festivals
Cultural festivals, local fairs, and markets are fantastic for socialising and connecting with the wider community.
3. Explore Creative Arts Programs
Try painting, music, dance, or craft workshops. Creative activities can be therapeutic and help express your personality.
4. Take Part in Cooking Classes
Learn new recipes, practice kitchen skills, and enjoy sharing meals with others. Cooking builds independence and is a lot of fun.
5. Volunteer in the Community
Volunteering provides purpose, confidence, and new friendships. It’s also a great way to contribute to your local community.
6. Try Outdoor Adventures
From bushwalks to picnics, outdoor activities promote fitness and provide opportunities for relaxation and socialising.
7. Attend Educational or Skill-Building Workshops
Short courses or hobby classes (like computers, photography, or gardening) help you learn new skills while engaging socially.
8. Join Group Outings
Group outings to the cinema, bowling, or restaurants are perfect for building friendships and enjoying shared experiences.
9. Explore Cultural & Community Centres
Libraries, museums, and community hubs often host free or low-cost activities to explore interests and meet like-minded people.
10. Participate in Innovative Community Programs
Unique programs such as mentoring, leadership development, or tailored personal growth workshops can boost confidence and independence.
