Kevin’s Huddle Journey: New Skills, New Friends, New Perspectives

Kevin started attending activities with The Huddle back in 2020, as were the times back then, a lot of his introduction to The Huddle was through online programs. He participated in online sporting sessions, picnics and exciting education activities, such as a mammal encounter! 

Once the world opened up, Kevin continued accessing programs as they returned to face to face. Through Huddle Holidays he has attended snow trips, surf trips, yoga classes and more. At Huddle Up! Junior he has been introduced and developed skills in a range of sports and has also attended community events such as Iftar. 

Most recently Kevin attended his first Huddle Holidays Senior activity, a Barista course where he learned to make coffees. A skill he hopes to take home, to be able to make coffees for his family.  

Kevin has attended many Junior programs alongside his brother Louis, however he has also been bold and open to attending programs alone where he has had great experiences and met new people which has helped to, as he says, “widen his eyes and see the world in a different perspective”.
