In late 2023/early 2024 our enthusiastic members led by Roger Wright, and supported by our generous sponsors (see below), completed the conversion of an old garage into the "endED Connections Cafe.  

​

endED are a local not-for-profit that works tirelessly to help people, especially young people, overcome the ravages of eating disorders.  Their purpose-designed facility in West Woombye houses consulting rooms and provides a restful environment for patients and their families.

​

The "Connections Cafe" was opened on 13 March 2024 and provides a quiet space for families to relax, have a warm drink and socialise with other people facing the same challenges supporting their loved ones coping with eating disorders.

​

This cafe is also open to other charities and not-for-profits and is proving to be a great addition to the Sunshine Coast.

​

Apart from providing the labour and project management expertise, Mooloolaba Rotary funded this redevelopment from the income received from our Legends Showcase event held on 5 May 2023 (read about that event HERE).  Originally expected to cost in excess of $30,000, this project has been delivered for about $10,000 thanks to the expert project management provided by Rotarian Roger Wright and the generosity of our sponsors.  

​

The surplus funds have allowed endED to put a roof over the deck alongside the cafe and complete other structural work on the property.
