Care is Everywhere

GingerCloud: from sports field to success


Listen Later

Max Elliot has quite a history with the Brothers Rugby Club in Albion. He's now working in their Ruggers Restaurant on a school-based traineeship, but his relationship with the club goes back to when he was 11.  That's when his parents started building what would become the GingerCloud Foundation. 
Their Modified Rugby Program is making sport accessible for kids of all abilities, and building skills for life like teamwork, social skills, and rising to a challenge.
Max has autism and uses NDIS support to build his skills and independence as he gets ready for life after school. Today we're talking to his mother Megan about GingerCloud, cooking, the Modified Rugby Program, and how creating Max's best possible future has meant building a whole community ready to step up and include people with disability.
