Organised by SBH Qld (Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Queensland)

Every year SBH Qld hosts the “Wheel & Walk” Fun Run & Community Day in Brisbane. This year we hope to replicate the event right here in Kingaroy. The vision for SBH Qld Wheel & Walk in “THE ROY” 2021 is to give members and their families, friends, and colleagues the opportunity to walk or wheel together just as they would in Brisbane, but I need your help to make it happen, and respectfully ask you to join us on this adventure.
If you are interested to know more, I invite you to message Anitta at astallwood@sbhqueensland.org.au and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Funds from this initiative, will be strategically facilitated by SBH management to bolster ground roots programs across Queensland. All donations of cash or goods will be graciously accepted.
Thank you for your consideration of this special community event, we genuinely appreciate the opportunity afforded to me by the business community in the South Burnett Region. Let’s make the inaugural SBH QLD Wheel & Walk in “THE ROY” 2021 a fun event for everyone. Below is the link to our fundraising page should you wish to make a cash donation. Thank you.

SMILE Program: NICL Training
2021-08-16 17:30 - 19:30
The KCCI has engaged Bunyarra Counselling and Mediation after seeing a video on social media about their NICL program. Michael Sanford and Narelle Sanford from Bunyarra developed the NICL program after noticing the ever-growing need for early intervention around people’s mental health and it was a great fit for the what the KCCI is trying to achieve. The program had already been implemented into some large corporations with great success.
The S.M.I.L.E initiative is aimed at businesses to create awareness around mental wellbeing in the workplace as well as ensuring business owners/managers are supported too.
If a business in the region is the member of the KCCI, we will fund 2 people from that business to do the NICL training. We hope future funding applications will allow us to roll this training out to more staff and more businesses across the region. Alternatively, businesses can engage Bunyarra
Counselling and Mediation themselves to deliver the NICL training.
KCCI would like to see all businesses no matter how large or small to engage with any of the service providers we have in our region to discuss their options around mental wellbeing in the workplace. We will have a list of providers on our website in the coming weeks.

Monday 16 August

CANCELLED: 2021 Baconfest
2021-08-20 10:00 - 2021-08-22 17:00
Baconfest 2021 has been cancelled.
Baconfest 2019 attracted around 15,000 visitors to our area and we want your businesses to get involved and make Kingaroy a pigtastic affair.

Our story
The idea for a BaconFest came to our first Chief Baconeer Kathryn Stevens one night while doing the washing up. This light bulb moment was discussed at length over coffee and wine and slowly but surely began to gain some momentum. Before long, an impressive team of enthusiastic and bacon-loving volunteers had signed up to the cause and committed themselves to delivering a weekend-long celebration of the pig. These creative individuals are passionate about the South Burnett region and committed to using their professional skills and talents to give back to the community by delivering a truly delicious event.
Visit the Baconfest website for more information.

A Christmas party for small business
2021-12-13 17:30 - 20:30
We had a great time last year, so we are looking to spread the word to anyone who has a small business, is a sole trader or often works from home alone.
We know that there are businesses who don’t feel like they have enough staff to hold a party, or perhaps live in the South Burnett but work for a company they can’t party with. So this party is put on by Craig Tunley from Kookaburra Business group and myself at our local Kingaroy winery, Kingsley Grove Estate in effort to bridge that gap.
The tickets for this year’s Christmas Party for Small Business and Sole Traders are on sale now! Please, be that person, tap another business on the shoulder who could do with this great night out!
Why did business owners book a ticket to last years’ event:
“To meet likeminded people”
“To network and have an enjoyable evening”
“ support, connection, inspiration”
“To crack bon bons with like business owners”
Some of the responses from last year’s party:
“Great food and good company”
“I liked the speaker, the music and the setting”
“I like the inspiration, the connection, and meeting new people”
“I liked Sean Gordon (last year’s speaker), the venue and conversation”
Get in for a good business night out. Purchase your tickets here
