Nambour Social Centre transformed thanks to community grants

RangeCare’s Nambour Social Centre hosted a special event on Thursday, March 13, to celebrate some extensive renovations and express gratitude to the Nambour Community Foundation and Sunshine Coast Council for their support.

Judging by the smiles RangeCare management and staff enjoyed the fun activities and social occasion just as much as the clients. The Nambour Social Centre, operated by RangeCare, has undergone a transformation thanks to the generosity of the Foundation and Council.

The centre, which provides vital day respite services, has received a comprehensive makeover to enhance the experience for its clients.

RangeCare's Business Development Manager, Jess Garey, explained that the grants were used to "re-carpet and revamp the whole area as well as smooth surfaces and provide ramp access". The work brings the facility in line with best practices and creates a more welcoming environment for the clients.

"The purpose of the Social Centre is to get people out and about, connecting with other people. They share a lovely meal that's really good for them and we involve them in some fun activities," Jess said.

Chairperson Lenore Simpson expressed her gratitude to the donors and the RangeCare community. She said money was raised via the grants and also by donations and through the work of volunteers at the Mapleton Op Shop.

“It’s great to be celebrating this wonderful facility we've got here and also each other's company, which means so much,” she said.

If you can help, please reach out to Daneyl.

Hi, my name is Allira and I am fundraising to help support Daneyl through her recovery from flood damage.

Due to major flood damage which happened in the early hours of the morning on 10th March 2025, Daneyl's small business was destroyed which has found her unexpectedly without an income to help support and provide for her family.

Funds raised will help her support her 2 children, pay rent, buy groceries, any medical cost and pay bills during this time without an income whilst she is rebuilding her business after it was destroyed by floods. Sadly she has been informed it will be several months until she can reopen her business, and I am hoping we as a community can rally together to support during this incredibly difficult period.

It's not often that an individual who is heavily involved in community needs support. It breaks my heart to say Daneyl is now in this position and as a community we can share the love the way she has done to us. Not only has it affected her, the flow on effect it will have in our community is really sad.

Donate – Any amount, big or small, will help us reach our goal.

Share – Please spread the word by sharing this campaign with your network. The more people who know, the better chance we have of achieving our goal.

Words of Encouragement – Leaving a supportive message will mean the world to Daneyl and help keep her spirits high during this challenging time.

About Daneyl:
Daneyl is a single mum of two beautiful children and also an owner of a local small business (which has been destroyed). She truly is a beautiful woman inside and out and loves to support her community.

Daneyl fulfilled a dream to open a cooking school, she went back to Uni at 32 and started her Bachelor of Nutrition studying while parenting her two kids. It was a long and often difficult few years with some major life challenges thrown in but she did it!
Daneyl has been providing NDIS individuals the opportunity to build core life skills and independent living skills as part of the interaction with her work. She knows that being able to cook a meal for yourself can leave a strong feeling of independence, especially for those relying on people and support for other aspects of their lives.
Daneyl is also a mentor to homeschool children who she shares her knowledge and gives the kids a head start in life with learning how to cook healthy and nutritionally balanced meals. The homeschool kids absolutely love her and what she teaches them.

Daneyl is an active community member and has been involved in many local community events from being a supporter and caterer to a presenter. She is a huge advocate for supporting her local community, sourcing locally grown produce and loves to see the joy it brings to everyone. She encourages everyone to believe it’s never too late to start something new, and to give it a go.

Its heart breaking to see her dream washed away.

Connecting Community, Highlighting Achievement, Backing Business

The Sunshine Valley Gazette is a locally owned and operated, free community newspaper published fortnightly and circulated throughout the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

This local paper has circulated in the area for more than 20 years, formerly Sunshine Valley News, until it closed in late 2011. Long-time Palmwoods resident, journalist and author, Kerry Brown knew the local paper had been integral in informing, entertaining, connecting and reflecting life in the Hinterland.

So, in early 2012 she revived the paper and gave it 150% effort. Within days the first Sunshine Valley Gazette was published on 7th March. Despite print media challenges the Gazette tripled in size after one edition from a 12 page A4 size paper to a 12 page tabloid paper. The Gazette has continued to grow in circulation, size and popularity; Kerry’s column was appropriately called ‘Just Do It’.

The Gazette is circulated every second Wednesday to letterbox and bulk distribution locations across the Hinterland. Initially circulation was limited to Woombye, Palmwoods and surrounding areas. The local ‘feel good’ content had tremendous appeal and requests to broaden circulation extend into Nambour, Mapleton and Montville then later into Maleny and Yandina.

Residents and businesses are welcome to contribute letters, news tips and stories concerning life in the Hinterland. Our content is all local because the readers love to know who, what, where, when, how and why life is so good in our part of the world.

As a journalist and active community resident Kerry believed content is the most important aspect in any newspaper. A strict 50/50 content policy meant 50% editorial and 50% advertising. The Gazette’s integrity was built on Kerry’s proven commitment to ethical journalism and making the Hinterland a great place to live.

Advertisers are crucial to the Gazette. Around 75% of advertisers are small business operators on a regular advertising schedule. They continue to advertise because they get results and we work with them to ensure their advertising is effective. We encourage you to call any advertiser for a reference.

New Owners Back In Print

After careers in newspapers and media and having owned and operated The Range News in Maleny from 1997-2007, we have been continually drawn to make a return to the industry we loved.

Since we sold The Range News to the Sunshine Coast Daily, we’ve worked in digital marketing. And while the internet is undeniably powerful, the further we got away from print media and newspapers the more we missed its traditional strengths and simplicity — especially when it comes to local businesses.

There is nothing that rivals print's ability to reach a mass audience of local people in a short period of time. And, at a price that isn't crippling.

We have missed the connections we made with local businesses and organisations, and the feeling of being involved in something incredibly positive and worthwhile.

Most of the work we did in online marketing was part of a long-term strategy. Building websites and sales funnels. Attracting and nurturing leads. Blogging for “authority”. Navigating Adwords and Facebook. Instagram. SEO. Re-marketing. Digital moves and changes at the speed of light, with the promise of a pay off in the long run. And that’s all good. Not everything can pay off instantly.

But that’s why newspaper advertising — advertising to an engaged local readership, is so powerful. The instant pay-off an advertisement or a business feature about your business can provide is a thrill for us and our advertisers. It is true that online, your story, or cause or advertisement is out there for the whole world to see. But how do you know if anyone is seeing it? In the Sunshine Valley Gazette, your information is surrounded by other local content and put in front of up to 20,000 people every fortnight. That’s a lot of potential connections and customers.

Helping small business owners to plan their marketing so they get best bang for their buck is something we have done for 23 years. The advantage of having had the experience in digital, is that we can help people make sense of it all, and figure out what they do and don’t need.

Kerry has nurtured many long-standing clients who have used the strength of advertising in her popular newspaper to help grow their businesses. In fact 75% of her advertisers are permanents. There can be no greater testament to quality than return business. We hope to help grow your business, too, in an engaging and affordable way.

In 2019, when the opportunity arose to purchase Kerry Brown’s Sunshine Valley Gazette, we jumped at the chance. We hope we can do justice to the tremendous foundations Kerry has built through her passion, hard work & love of the community.
