Mason's Story

Our young Client Mason loves to learn about cooking with our Children, Youth and Respite team at Nexus’s Respite site in the North of Hobart.

He has enjoyed making muffins, toast, and salad rolls, and likes being able to share them with his housemates. 

When Mason is not busy honing his cooking skills, he spends his time playing basketball or tennis with Nexus staff, riding his scooter and playing Fortnite on his Xbox.
