L'Arte (pronounced Lar-tay) was born out of need. That need is giving people in our community that have mental health and other health challenges real and meaningful workplace opportunities. This can include employment and community participation activities for NDIS participants and also volunteering or other meaningful activity as appropriate for their recovery. We create pathways back into mainstream community life and give people the opportunity to realise their full potential. It also provides a vehicle for changing community attitudes towards those with mental health and other challenges. It is because of people we exist. We are a safe place, a happy place, and a welcoming place for everyone. Transforming lives transforms families which in-turn transforms communities! Whilst our Cranbourne East store is the first store it will definitely not be the last as we continue to explore new and exciting opportunities.
