Walk in Wings Friday 17th October 2025

Friday 17th October 2025 we will be holding our annual Walk in Wings.

This event is designed to promote whole community inclusivity and will unite schools, community & sporting groups, businesses and the general public from all walks of life.

Walkers will create a kaleidoscope of colour as they embrace the playfulness of life & importance of creating an all-inclusive community in their colourful butterfly wings or in purple.

We invite you to join us in breaking down barriers and elevating awareness of our neighbours and friends with disability.

Together we can create an inclusive and accepting community for all.

One of the first barriers that people with disability face are the attitudes and mindset of others.

These barriers include stereotyping and usually assuming that people with disability have a poor and unhealthy quality of life. This is usually because of a lack of community understanding. Yet, in reality, people with disability are like everyone else, we all have our strengths and our weaknesses.

Walk in Wings focuses on creating community awareness and celebrating the wonderful differences that each and every one of us has.

Walk in Wings is an annual event that brings the community together to break down the social and physical barriers that people with disability face daily.

Together, let’s ‘Walk in Wings’ and create awareness of and celebrate people with disability in the community.

Gather Your Team and Register Today! Create a team of 4, or up to 10 members, and be part of something truly meaningful. Your TEAM will play a vital role in supporting ‘Sunshine Butterflies Neigh It Forward’ Fundraiser. 

This year we are inviting our community to get involved and support our much-loved farm animals at ‘Our Backyard’.

From our cheeky goats and cute and cuddly miniature horses, to our ducks, chickens, sheep, peacock and even our donkey, each animal plays a very special role here at Sunshine Butterflies.

In our Farmability animal care program, our animals provide companionship, teach new skills, and bring so much happiness to our members with disability.

Caring for our furry and feathered friends comes with ongoing costs, from food, straw and shelter to vet care and enrichment. By supporting our ‘Neigh It Forward’ Fundraiser you will be helping us provide the very best care for them, so they can continue to bring joy, confidence and connection to our members with disability and the community.

We are hoping to raise $20,000, which will cover the cost of our animals for 12 months.

Get your business, community group, friends and family together, register a team and wear your best wings or purple and help us create a kaleidoscope of colour to celebrate this all-inclusive community event.
