22.01.2022 SUNNY COAST COMMUNITY URGED TO DIG DEEP THIS CHRISTMAS At the Maroochy Neighbourhood Centre, there's been a greater demand this year from people needing help.... The centre's community development coordinator Mark Ellis (pictured) says it's a "mixed bag" of people asking for assistance including single parents, people from overseas and families. We're keen to spread some joy this festive season and to make that happen we're collecting gift cards for any amount from any store to pass on to the neighbourhood centre and The Shack Community Centre. "For people that'll receive them, it'll help them immensely," Mr Ellis says. "They can buy food for Christmas, they can buy presents ... with Christmas it's not a happy occasion for a lot of people in the community." GETTING INVOLVED IS EASY... Post or deliver a gift card to us at Level 1, 15 Carnaby Street Maroochydore by the 11th of December and we'll pass it on.

19.01.2022 We are very excited to announce that Queensland Labor and the Liberal National Party have confirmed that they’ll be speaking at the Make Disability Count 2020 S...tate Election Virtual Forum. Coralee O'Rourke MP will be representing the Queensland Labor Party. Minister O’Rourke is the current Minister for Communities, Minister for Disability Services and Seniors. Dr Christian Rowan MP will be representing the Liberal National Party. Dr Rowan is the current Shadow Minister for Disability Services & Seniors. It’s great to see the two major parties take disability seriously and be willing to engage around their disability policies and on issues impacting people with disability, their families, and the organisations that support them in the lead up to the election.
