Multicap’s Pine Rivers Community Hub has recently undergone kitchen refurbishments, equipping it with new appliances and enhancing the overall welcoming atmosphere of the space.
The project was made possible thanks to a generous $20,000 grant from the Moreton Bay City Council.
Multicap’s Service Manager Sheryl Figuerres, expressed her gratitude for the grant and refurbishments, emphasising its positive impact on the services offered at the hub.
“The kitchen refurbishments have enabled the hub to provide engaging cooking classes for over 50 people with disabilities who access these services weekly,” Sheryl said. “We are now able to offer essential programs in a welcoming and fun place for people to share new experiences, build friendships and develop skills.”
Sheryl highlighted the immense popularity of the cooking classes among people attending the hub, noting that they now have more space and amenities to enjoy.
In addition to the kitchen upgrades, the hub utilised part of the grant to acquire a large outdoor trampoline.
According to Sheryl, this addition has quickly become a favourite, offering a fun and beneficial outlet for physical activity.
“The trampoline is incredibly effective at supporting emotional regulation, behavior management, and providing a safe and enjoyable recreational option for hub attendees.”
Reflecting on the hub’s decade-long operation, Sheryl underscored its vital role in supporting people with disabilities in the Pine Rivers community.
“Over the years, the hub has provided a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment while offering a friendly and social space where lasting friendships are formed.
Grateful for the unwavering support from the Pine Rivers community, the hub extends its heartfelt appreciation for the continued backing that allows them to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
Through initiatives like the upgraded kitchen and the beloved trampoline, the Multicap Pine Rivers Community Hub remains committed to providing enriching experiences and fostering a sense of belonging for all who walk through its doors.
