Beacon Support

It’s State of Origin Game Day, and we need to know where the Beacon Support community stands. 🏉

Are you team Blues or team Maroons?

No sitting on the fence today 😅

👍 Like this post if you are backing the Blues.
❤️ Love this post if you are cheering for the Maroons.

Bonus points if you tell us your score prediction in the comments.

A welcoming shared SIL home is now available in Currimundi on the Sunshine Coast.

This modern, wheelchair-accessible 3-bedroom home offers a calm and comfortable living environment, with shared spaces designed for everyday routines, connection and independence.

We’re welcoming a male or female participant to share with two women in their early twenties who enjoy music, conversation and spending time together.

The home features:

💙 3-bedroom low-set layout
💙 Wheelchair accessible design
💙 Shared living spaces
💙 Outdoor patio area
💙 Close to shops, parks and local amenities
💙 Less than 5km to local day programs

At Beacon Support, we understand how important it is to find a home where someone can feel safe, comfortable and supported to live life in a way that feels meaningful to them.

If you are supporting someone who may be exploring SIL options on the Sunshine Coast, we welcome enquiries and referrals.

To arrange a viewing email our team directly at [email protected]

This is seriously cool. 🛹

The team at Chiggy's Skateboarding shared some awesome shots of their All Abilities Adaptive Skate Frame, and we wanted to show our Beacon community what is possible.

The frame is designed to provide extra physical support while skating, helping people build confidence, balance, coordination and independence in a safe and supported way.

Chiggy’s offers skate frame lessons at Coolum Beach, and the team has also shared that they are open to chatting about other suitable locations where the frame can be used.

For participants who love movement, want to try something new, or are looking for a different kind of community activity, this could be well worth exploring.

If this is not adaptive, we do not know what is.

Please check directly with Chiggy’s Skateboarding for availability, suitability, costs, support needs and location options.

A little birdie told us we might be making pink ribbons at our upcoming Participant Day. 💗

This June, Beacon Support is going pink to support breast cancer awareness and research, and we wanted to create a simple way for our participants and community to get involved.

Pink ribbon making is a lovely hands-on activity. It gives people a chance to be creative, build confidence, connect with others and create something meaningful together.

We’re also supporting our very own Donna, who is taking part in The Big Bold Walk as part of The 100km Power Walkers. Donna is aiming to power walk 100km throughout June to raise funds for breast cancer research, and we are so proud to be cheering her on.

If you make a pink ribbon at home, we would love to see it.

Share your ribbon in the comments and help us show Donna, and everyone impacted by breast cancer, some love from the Beacon Support family.

Cathy and Chantelle, we are seriously impressed. 💛

Our awesome participants shared some snaps from their baking at home, and we had to celebrate them.

Cooking and baking can be such a great way to build confidence, practise daily living skills, enjoy creativity and feel proud of what you have made.

And from the looks of these photos, Cathy and Chantelle have been very busy in the kitchen.

Thank you both for sharing your baking wins with us. We love seeing what our participants are creating at home.

Also, Cathy and Chantelle, if you would like to bring some along to our next Participant Day, we would be very happy taste testers.

Pretty please.

We’re going pink for June. 💗

This month, Beacon Support is taking part in Go Pink to help raise awareness and support breast cancer research.

We’re also getting behind our very own Donna, who is taking part in The Big Bold Walk as part of The 100km Power Walkers.

Donna is aiming to power walk 100km throughout June to raise funds for breast cancer research, and we are so proud to support her.

Breast cancer affects so many people, families and communities. This is our way of showing support, raising awareness and helping fund research that can make a real difference.

Please join us in cheering Donna on and supporting her walk.

Every donation helps, and every message of support will mean so much.

June plans? We’ve got a few ideas for you. 💛

If you are looking for local events, creative activities or social opportunities this month, there are some great options happening across Brisbane and nearby areas.

We found a mix of photography, art, community events, comedy and social catch-ups that participants, families and support teams may like to explore.

It could be a chance to try something new, meet people, enjoy a creative outing, or simply spend time in the community.

Please check directly with each organiser for booking details, accessibility, costs, dates, times and suitability before attending.

Check the comments for the full list and event links.

Maybe your version of a little adventure is a scenic winery visit, good views, a nice lunch and testing your palate with something new. 🍷

For participants, families and support teams, accessible wineries can be a lovely community participation idea.

A winery visit can be relaxed, social and flexible. It might be a wine tasting, a meal, a wander through the grounds, a drive through the countryside, or simply a chance to enjoy fresh air and good company.

We found a few winery options with accessibility information available, including:

💙 Sirromet Wines
💙 Ridgemill Estate
💙 Jester Hill Wines

We’ll pop the links in the comments.
