Get Behind Our Fundraising!
Linking the Next Step Inc. exists to open up real opportunities for neurodiverse individuals and people living with invisible disabilities. The money we raise goes straight back into our programs, helping participants build workplace skills, gain independence, and grow the confidence to go after the path they want.
The Coffee Van Initiative
We want to buy a coffee van for our Ignite Pathways program, and we need your help to get there. The van will give participants hands-on barista and hospitality training in a real working environment, not a classroom simulation, but the real thing. It's about building genuine job-ready skills while having fun and connecting with the community along the way.
What's Coming Up
Trivia Night – "Into the Decades" (2026) Our Trivia Night is back for 2026, this time with a decades theme. Expect a room full of laughs, some fierce competition, and a great excuse for a night out while supporting a good cause.
Our First-Ever Walk-a-Thon (2026) We're trying something new this year, our inaugural Walk-a-Thon. Grab your walking shoes, rally some sponsors, and help us kick this one off in style.
Bunnings Sausage Sizzle (November 2026) You can't beat a sausage sizzle. We'll be back at Bunnings in November cooking up snags for a good cause. Come say hi and grab some lunch.
Why This Matters
These events aren't just about raising money, though that part matters a lot. They're a chance for our participants, their families, and the wider community to come together and be part of something. Every trivia night, every sausage on the barbie, every step of the walk-a-thon adds up to real opportunities for the people we support.
If you'd like to get involved, there are a few ways to do it: come along to an event, sponsor one of our initiatives, or make a donation. However you choose to support us, you're helping build a future where neurodiverse individuals and people with invisible disabilities have the pathways and opportunities they deserve.
Thanks for being part of it. We couldn't do this without you.
