In addition to 1:1 short term accommodation we schedule group overnights, where participants who have become friends are able to come together to experience a ‘sleep over’ with the support of Bloom Staff. These overnights involve the participants to plan group activities as well as meal prep and life skills.

Bloom Overnights typically run through the school holidays and are charged at a lower rate due to the group setting (if appropriate).
