John at the 2024 All-Abilities Ball

John Balcombe has been a client of Directions for over 5 years, for individual supports and support coordination. John is currently supported by Client Liaison Officer Myles, Support Workers Ileana, Paul and Shane, and Support Coordinator Leigh.
In the last 12 months, John has been attending a cooking skills group at Lightbulb Skills. Lightbulb Skills had a table at the All-Abilities Ball in early September, and asked John to join them.
In the lead up to the ball, John’s Directions support team assisted in the preparation, including planning the night, finding a tuxedo and accessories, and visiting the barber. On the day of the ball, John’s Support Worker, Ileana, helped John get ready and drove him to the venue in South Perth. John had a great night, spending many hours on the dancefloor and chatting to other guests over dinner.
