Together with her friend Tina, whose son Tom has down syndrome, they searched for something more stimulating and enriching to do on weekends and holidays with the support needed for their kids. Eventually Kath and Tina decided the only thing to do was to create what they were looking for.

They called it BestLife and started a pilot program of Saturday night sleepovers, every teen’s dream, for small groups at a house within the grounds of Mackenzie special school on Brisbane’s southside.

Project sleepover was a hit!

BestLife has since grown to include a variety of programs to suit the many kids and families that have become part of the BestLife family. Offering fun and supportive day programs, sleep overs and even holiday programs.
