It’s Disability Action Week! 💜

This week we are celebrating the achievements, strengths and contributions of people with disability, while also shining a light on the importance of accessibility and inclusion in our community.

This year’s theme, 'Communicate. Connect. Create.' is all about the power of accessible communication, building meaningful connections, and creating spaces where everyone feels welcome and included.

At Sunshine Butterflies, we see every day how small, simple changes can make a big difference. Whether it’s improving communication, adapting environments, or learning new ways to support one another, we can all play a part in making our community more accessible.

A Wonderful Day with the Noosa Council Team!🦋

We were absolutely delighted to welcome the Noosa Council Executive Team to Sunshine Butterflies recently for their team workshop!

It was such a joy to share our beautiful space, animals, and community with this wonderful group of people. Here’s what they had to say about their day with us:

“Thank you so much to you and the team at Sunshine Butterflies for the effort you put in to make our day so enjoyable.”

“The location, the staff, the people, the animals, and the performance were all amazing. It was so nice to get out of the office and spend the day at your beautiful spot, you totally spoilt us!”

“We can’t forget about the awesome morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea – so delicious!”

We were thrilled to host Noosa Council at 'Our Backyard and can't wait to welcome them again soon.

Thank you for choosing Sunshine Butterflies as your workshop location.💜
