A little hope goes a long way
endED began the way of many personal journeys. Mark and Gay Forbes opened up their home on a fortnightly basis to parents, carers and loved ones journeying the Eating Disorder labyrinth.
In 2024, Leading charity endED were named the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Community Organisation of the year.
Through their House of Hope in Woombye, they provide unwavering support to individuals and families experiencing eating disorders.
Their programs, which include counselling, creative activities, and support groups, foster a sense of belonging and hope. By promoting mental health and well-being, endED enhances the overall health of the Sunshine Coast community, aligning with the Biosphere's goals of sustainable living and community well-being.
Their efforts exemplify the positive impact of community-driven initiatives on regional sustainability and health.
If you know someone making a difference to our region, nominate them for a Sunshine Coast Biosphere Community Award by April 30. There are eight categories to nominate in. Visit Council’s website for details.
