The Ekka came to Bowen Hills! 🎪

The team at our Bowen Hills Learning and Lifestyle Hub brought a little Ekka magic, transforming the location into a carnival for the day.

There was a craft petting zoo, plenty of fun challenges and, of course, strawberry ice cream. 🍦

But the biggest laughs came at the end, when participants got the chance to soak the staff. 💦😂

A pretty great way to enjoy the Ekka fun without leaving Bowen Hills.

What an incredible day. 🎉

Yesterday we celebrated 75 years of Endeavour Foundation at a Parliamentary Reception at Parliament House in Brisbane, and we're still buzzing.

We were joined by Our Patron Her Excellency the Governor of Queensland, Minister Amanda Camm MP, the Leader of the Opposition, Members of Parliament, and so many wonderful people who've been part of our journey - including Envirosafe, our partner of 10+ years - who brought a live fly trap production line to showcase the work our teams do every day.

But the highlight, as always, was spending time with the incredible people we support.

Seventy-five years on, the work isn't finished - and days like today remind us why strong partnerships with government and business matter more than ever.

Thank you to everyone who came along today. You made this milestone truly special.

75 years down. Many more to go. 💜

After 33 years at home, Alex has made a big move. 🏡

He now lives in Supported Independent Living, and his parents Jim and Benita have watched him take on things they never expected - from helping in the kitchen to communicating more independently with support workers.

"He has come on so much," Benita said. "Things that I did not think he could do, he can actually do."

For his parents, Jim and Benita, it’s also brought greater peace of mind about the future.

“It is a big leap, but unless you give it a go, you never know,” Jim said.

Taking that first step can feel big, but Alex’s family found that a gradual transition helped make the change feel possible.

Everyone deserves to feel heard and respected.

Speak Up with Confidence workshops help people with intellectual disability learn to speak up for themselves. Workshops are already underway, with more happening soon in Cairns, Townsville and other places across the country.

These workshops are sponsored by Endeavour Foundation and delivered by local disability organisations. They are funded by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

A new name for a growing movement. 💜

In 1982, our organisation officially became Endeavour Foundation.

By then, what had started with families fighting for better opportunities for their children with intellectual disability had grown into an organisation supporting people across Queensland.

The name Endeavour Foundation captured the determination and hope that had driven our journey from the beginning.

More than four decades later, it is a name that continues to represent our commitment to creating possibilities for people with intellectual disability to live, learn, work and connect.

Ruth’s story is part of where our 75-year journey began. 💜

Born with Down syndrome in 1944, Ruth Williams grew up at a time when families had few supports and children with intellectual disability were often excluded from education and community life.

Her parents, Harry and Billie, wanted something different.

When Ruth’s story appeared in The Courier Mail around 1950, donations arrived from across Queensland marked “For Ruth.” Instead of keeping the money, her family donated it to a local support group helping other families of children with disability.

That group became part of the growing movement that would eventually become Endeavour Foundation. 😊

Ruth's story reminds us of the families whose determination helped shape the organisation we are today, as we celebrate 75 years of people, purpose and progress.

That legacy continues through The Power of Inclusion. ✨

First competition. First place. What a debut. 🏆

The Endeavour Sparksability Dance Team took to the stage at Maryborough’s Brolga Theatre for their first-ever competition - and walked away with 1st place. 🎉

Josh, JP, Liz and Nicole from our Maryborough Learning and Lifestyle Hub had spent months practising for this moment, and it showed. 💃🕺

The win has sparked new interest in the team, with more participants now joining ahead of a performance at an inclusive community festival in September and their next competition in October.

Make sure to cheer them on in the comments!
