A new disability activity centre opened in the heart of Tewantin on 2 October with excited participants, families, carers and community members.
Spring HUB is fun and inclusive space for people with disabilities to come together for skill building and social connection.
The HUB is an expansion of Spring Lifestyle Supports, a non-profit NDIS provider that has been operating in the local area since 2022.
The dedicated and experienced team share the same values while providing support for people with disabilities to live independently in their own homes and to access social and community activities.
The HUB evolved from a conversation between Spring Lifestyle Supports founder, Karen Disney, Board member Karen (Kaz) Raison and new Spring HUB coordinator, Jaxs Barrett, who brings many years of experience in the disability sector to her new role.
Following an extensive search, the perfect location in the centre of the Tewantin community was identified and work to transform the building into a bright and welcoming space began in June of this year.
At the official opening, Sandy Bolton MP said “the three amigos” (Karen, Kaz and Jaxs) were beautiful people doing incredible things with love, and they have created a magical space.
Spring HUB plans to support not only the participants who attend, but also their families and carers.
The HUB is a safe space where people with disabilities can come and spend time doing activities, playing games, socialising, cooking, music, singing and dancing, doing arts and crafts, or getting active out in the community, and doing all those things that make life fun and fulfilling.
“We share a vision to provide a safe and nurturing environment within the community where people with disabilities can come together and be supported in a truly personal way where the focus is on their individual strengths, abilities and interests,“ Karen said.
“We are proud of our collaborations with other local providers including NEO Caring and Tribe Social and Community.
“Going forward, we are focused on providing a bespoke, individualised and caring disability service.
“We are evolving daily and value feedback from participants, families and carers to ensure we are meeting the needs of the community.“
Spring HUB is located on the corner of Poinciana Avenue and Pelican Street, Tewantin (next to the post office) and they welcome visitors at any time.
