Bright Beginnings for Luke

February 11, 2025

Luke came to Sunnyfield’s MTA in Toukley looking for a place to call home while transitioning to a permanent shared living house. For Luke medium term accommodation opened a world of opportunities, new experiences, and bright beginnings. Luke has found his zest for life, discovering new hobbies and interests, gaining independence, and building relationships. His confidence has soared with every achievement and goal he has conquered.

“Luke has made amazing progress, and we really saw him thrive in his new environment, it has been a wonderful journey watching him grow in confidence and ability.” Lisa, Support Worker.

Luke’s journey included not only mastering life at home but outside of his home too. At Toukley Luke enjoyed all the wonderful experiences on offer including joining a social group that developed into meaningful friendships.

“Luke went to the cabaret and dancing performances, the Australian Reptile Park, and a weekend motorbike festival, he formed meaningful friendships and is now living in a shared home with one of his new mates. “Lucia, Regional Business Manager.

Staff supported Luke in exploring his passions and interests and you will now find Luke busy in the kitchen. Whether it is whipping up his favourite dish spaghetti bolognese or baking all things sweet.

“Luke loves baking, anything, and everything from cupcakes to muffins, he really enjoys getting in the kitchen and has found a great deal of happiness mastering new recipes each week. “Lisa, Support Worker.

Lukes’s story has been a beautiful journey of self-discovery and growth, and it has been such a pleasure to watch him thrive. Luke has now found himself a permanent home with Sunnyfield’s Shared Living Services on the Central Coast and is putting all the skills he learnt to good use. We can’t wait to see what’s install for him next
