Bedford Future Pathway Update - 17 November 2025

For 80 years, Bedford has been creating opportunities, jobs and pathways for people living with disability to lead fulfilling, independent lives. As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we reflect on our rich history, enduring purpose, and bold vision for the future.

This year, we invite you to be part of something extraordinary.
Just like the gentle flap of a butterfly’s wings can create a ripple that leads to great change, your donation will provide lasting impact. We call it the Butterfly Effect – and it’s at the heart of everything the Bedford team achieves together – with your help. From gardening and cooking, to building job-ready skills, exploring the arts, and making social connections, Bedford supports people of all abilities to learn, thrive and live the life they choose.

Be Part of the Butterfly Effect.

At Bedford every day, we see how small opportunities can transform lives. An End of Financial Year (EOFY) gift of $8, $80 or $800 will support meaningful initiatives such as the creation of more community gardens across one of Bedford’s seven hubs, giving people with disability the chance to gain confidence, build practical life and job-ready skills, and achieve their personal goals in a supported environment that nurtures growth and connection.

Importantly, Bedford does not receive government funding, so we rely on your generosity to continue
offering the services and opportunities that NDIS alone cannot provide. Please give today. No gift is
too small. Your support this tax time will make a difference – just like it has for Riley and his friends.

Thank you for your support and generosity.
