Launched on 9 September 2024, the BELLES began as a fun and creative idea for four ladies living with disability to share supports. It quickly turned into a festive powerhouse. Forming their own kind of micro-enterprise, their workspace became a whirlwind of tinsel, creativity, and teamwork—especially during the Christmas card rush!

Each member found their role:

  • Nicky stamped nearly 200 envelopes in a day—our stamping superstar.
  • Jane kept a close eye on the budget (and sticker costs!).
  • Janet made sure coffee breaks didn’t get out of hand.
  • Di took charge of tools and supplies with clipboard in hand.

What started as holiday fun grew into something more—responsibility, pride, and a strong sense of purpose. Today, the BELLES are still going strong, creating birthday cards and dreaming up new ideas for the next Christmas season, including a pop-up “Santa’s Workshop.”

Behind the glitter and giggles is a hardworking, creative, and supportive team of women who bring joy to everything they do.
