Fun Farm Limited

Fun Farm Limited, a new exciting community organisation setup in December 2019, inspired by the vision of Redlands local, Karen Howe who spent her waking hours considering her sons future. Our mission is to create a space for the disAbility community to fulfill their hopes, dreams and opportunities. We're a public company with a constitutional 'not for profit' objective. “It’s quite disturbing once they hit their early adult years, what will happen now. When they are so little, this way of thinking seemed a long way off about what their aspirations might be either for themselves, or generally us for them, and what will that look like as he will need 100% support.” Dylan doesn’t have friends, or sleepovers which many youths his age would be doing now, or activities bike riding, skateboarding etc. Like many, Dylan struggles with crowds and has sensory issues so going to theme parks, or where large crowds in a small space is not even an option. Got me thinking and spending time listening to other parents, carers & guardians who are overwhelmed with the same concerns. After much deliberation and discussions with the right people and discussing the Vision we can now see the possibilities to bringing this vision to life.” We are talking about of a place with unlimited opportunities, possibilities that are only limited by the imagination, and a fun safe place with dedicated people who have an understanding, and have lived through the life of a person with a disAbility. We have found some amazing people to join us on this venture ‘Fun Farm’ which we registered in 2019 as Fun Farm Limited. We are now in the process of undertaking the task of applying for Not For Profit and charity status. In the meantime we need some ‘seed’ funding to cover our insurances and some costs to ensure the certainty of getting this off the ground. This is our first round funding and we want to ensure we get it right first time. Its the community that are our biggest fans and your donations will go along way to making someone's future bright. This will be a place where parents, care givers and guardians can have a vision (light at the end) for their loved ones, a knowing they have somewhere to go and discover so much about themselves and create new friendships and skills. A place where we close the gap with the broader communities to learn and understand that the only difference between us all, is our perspective on life. Job opportunities whilst we dive into the potential of each individual. We will be seeking more Directors and Volunteers however in the meantime we need some FUNDS. With the support of the community we 'CAN DO' this giving families hope for their loved ones future! There is no tax deduction at this stage until we become a charity which can take from up to 12months. We don’t have luxury of time we need your help now!! w: www.funfarm.org.au e: info@funfarm.org.au
