Extending Our Impact

At Enrich Abilities, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to lead a fulfilling life. This means that when you choose Enrich Abilities, you’re also contributing to a broader mission of inclusion and community betterment. We are proud to be a division of, The Co Group, a registered charity formed to provide benevolent relief to people with a disability and older Australians in need.

Examples of our collaborations in pursuit of this charitable purpose are showcased below.

• Phoenix Community Project - Phoenix Community Project inc is a hybrid between a disability support service and a youth centre. We run on the philosophy that some risk is healthy in a safe environment and education is necessary to provide the knowledge for individuals with a disability to make informed and thought-out decisions.

Supporting Big Dreams

We go beyond traditional services, with financial assistance for essential items or resources not covered by the NDIS. From assistive technologies to educational materials, this program removes financial barriers, giving families the tools they need to foster independence and success.

Testimonial from Youngcare:

"Youngcare's mission to support young Australians with complex physical disabilities would not have been possible without the generous support of The Co-Group. With your help, we distributed over $770,000 in grants, transforming the lives of 127 young people, facilitated over 5,000 conversations through our Youngcare Connect Line, and opened new apartments in East Brisbane, creating homes for seven individuals. Thank you for making a profound difference in the lives of so many."
