Specialised Programs And Community Endeavours (s.p.a.c.e) is an independent community centre. What makes s.p.a.c.e unique is our special interest in supporting social inclusion, inparticular, those of members of the community with special needs.

s.p.a.c.e was foundedin 2007 in response to a lack of regular, affordable and dynamic socialservices for members of the community with a disability in the Western Suburbsof Brisbane. Since its conception Alissa Phillips, Founder and CEO, has lead acore team of eclectic and motivated community citizens to co-create a spacethat is socially inclusive and soon to be universally designed. All involvedhave acted out of passion and good will – volunteers. These volunteers are nowconsidered to be important members of a community of practitioners skilled increative engagement and inclusive program design.

At s.p.a.c.e the services are for, but not limited to, members of thecommunity with a disability. We believed that by creating generic services for useby the whole community we would able to ignite inclusive community practicesand increase quality of life for those members of the community who live withor alongside disability.

Through a social business model, conversation, engagement, andinnovative projects and programs s.p.a.c.e has been able to create a newcontext for how disability is perceived in everyday society. To learn moreabout s.p.a.c.e we suggest you see it to believe it. s.p.a.c.e is not a productit is a process; a process of bringing people together to coexist in a publicspace learning from one another through shared and positive experiences.
