A group of Sunshine Coast businesses have rallied behind Noosa based disability support charity Sunshine Butterflies to upgrade and enhance access to the ‘Our Backyard’ facility on McKinnon Drive Cooroibah.
Sunshine Butterflies Founder and CEO Leanne Walsh said she was ecstatic that local suppliers and contractors have come together to contribute to the project.
“Widening the road and improving access to our facility will make such an enormous difference to our members living with a disability as well as their families who use our facilities every day,” she said.
“We could not have done this without the support of the team from Shadforth who have funded a significant portion of the work and were assisted by many other local businesses.”
Shadforth Director Ray Shadforth said he was proud to see so many businesses come together to support the work of Sunshine Butterflies.
“All up this project cost around $200,000 and without the support of local businesses it would be impossible for Sunshine Butterflies complete this project. We are in a privileged position to be able to assist such a great local charity who provide so much support to locals and their families living with a disability,” Mr Shadforth said.
“It’s all hands-on deck now that we have the approval to proceed and we expect the new road will be operational by early April this year.”
