It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of Meeting Place cafe. Our final day of operation will be Friday, 14 August.

Earlier this year, one of our beautiful owners Penny, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then, she has faced every challenge with incredible courage and strength, and she has now begun intensive chemotherapy. As a small family-run business, our focus needs to be where it matters most - supporting Penny and our family through this journey.

Meeting Place has been so much more than just a café. It has been a place where friendships have formed, conversations have been shared and our community has come together. We are so grateful to every person who has walked through our doors, supported us, booked our meeting rooms, or simply stopped in for a coffee and a chat.

While Meeting Place will be closing, I'm Able Support Network will continue operating as normal. Our disability support services will continue without interruption and we remain committed to supporting our participants, families and the wider community. Although our café chapter is coming to an end, our passion for making a difference certainly isn't.

This is not the ending we had hoped for, but at this time it is the right decision for our family.

To our wonderful customers, staff and community - thank you. Your support over the past year has meant more to us than you will ever know. We will always be proud of what Meeting Place has been and the impact it has had on so many people.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the Meeting Place community. ❤️

Got an NDIS teen or young adult (15–25) south of Adelaide who’s lonely, bored at home and wants real-life friends?

We’re starting Keen Teens – a small, screen-free social group for NDIS teens & young adults (15–25). Run by I’m Able, hosted at Meeting Place in McLaren Vale.

It’s for young people who:
- Want to meet new people in a no-judgement space
- Feel lonely, bored or isolated at home
- Want to build confidence talking to others
- Want to practise real-life social skills in a gentle way

What happens:
- Once a fortnight, 2-hour sessions
- At the café, no phones during group time
- Start with games + “speed friendships”
- Over time, add simple role-play activities to practise social skills and reading social cues
- 2 support workers (1:4 group support) and a max of 6–8 participants

Who it’s NOT for (so we can keep it safe and calm):
- Under 15s, Over 25s
- Young people who currently need ongoing 1:1 or 2:1 behaviour/safety support in community settings. It’s okay to bring a support worker or parent at first to help settle in. Our longer‑term goal is that they can join in more independently in a small group, with our 2 group workers there for support.
- Crisis / behaviour support needs that require a specialised service

Over time, our aim is that young people:
- Feel less isolated and more hopeful
- Learn how to make and keep friendships
- Feel more comfortable in their own skin
- Have something to look forward to every fortnight

NDIS & cost:
- Sessions are billed to NDIS as group-based social/community participation (1:4 ratio) for eligible participants
- Food & drinks (toasties, smoothies, hot chocolates) are optional extras from the café menu

👉 We’re starting with a small foundation group of 6–8 and already have 5 young people interested.
If you’re a parent / carer / support coordinator and want details, comment “KEEN” below or fill in this short form and we’ll be in touch:
