Building independence through cooking, teamwork and social connection while participants learn meal preparation, kitchen safety, planning, budgeting and healthy food skills.



Helping participants gain employment, volunteer and work experience opportunities through resume building, interview preparation, confidence development and real-world job-seeking skills.

Supporting aspiring entrepreneurs to turn business ideas into reality through business planning, marketing, sales, confidence building and practical startup guidance.



A practical transition-to-adulthood program focused on independence, executive functioning, budgeting, cooking, problem-solving and the real-world skills needed for everyday life.

A social skills program for children aged 5–12, building confidence, communication, emotional regulation and friendships through fun, engaging activities and supported peer interaction.



A participant-led social program where members connect with friends, explore the community, enjoy activities and build confidence in a safe, supported environment.

Can’t recommend Marching Forward highly enough! The patience and understanding they offer my child, and me, is above and beyond. He's happy and confident when he's with them.

My daughter has just returned from her second camp and loves spending time with Marching Forward, and forming friendships with the other girls. They are kind and caring and makes my daughter feel confident and valuable.

If you are looking for a company that is kind, nurturing and understanding of your child’s needs you have come to the right place.
My daughter is 14 and finds it incredibly difficult to socialise and commit to days out so we had nearly given up until we found Marching Forward.
After just one week of being with Marching Forward, my daughter now can’t wait to go back for more, believe me this is a miracle.
