Our Vision
Sunshine Butterflies is a disability support service and charity located on the Sunshine Coast. Our vision is empowering people with disability by creating a unique and all-inclusive community.
Our Mission
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 our Sunshine Coast community together to break down the social and physical barriers that people with disability face daily.
Together, let’s ‘Walk in Wings’ to get people in our community to support people living with disability in our community.
‘‘ Herbalife is honoured to support Walk in Wings and witness the incredible work Sunshine Butterflies does to empower individuals with disability. Being part of such a meaningful event, one that brings the community together to promote inclusion and make a positive impact, is truly a privilege. ’’

‘‘ We create the Walk in Wings event to ensure people with disability feel included with the same rights, access and opportunities as anyone else in our community. Each year the event gets bigger and bigger and we are aiming to have hundreds of people to don some purple, wear their wings and join us to celebrate diversity and inclusion. ’’
