Way back in October one of our wonderful members named Tara signed us up for Thrill the World. Which is a world wide dance video for Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Leading up to the dance there was Ghoul’s practicing there dance moves all around the clubhouse. Arrowhead will be doing it again in 2026 so keep an eye out for when it’s time to practice your dance moves. For the finished video with all the other countries please check out the Youtube link below. The video posted here is the full length Arrowhead Club edit.
Arrowhead Logic Model
Do you really want to understand Arrowhead? How do we (staff, members and volunteers working together) help people, who often, though not always, arrive ‘broken’ (or at least told by society they are “broken”) and in tears, get back on their feet? Even back to having a spring in their step. How does giving out dry socks connect to a safer Sunshine Coast? How does a $25 donation lead to … healthy boundaries and a sense of purpose? Or knowledge, skills and community? If you want to understand our model, take 3 minutes and read on...
Early in 2025 it was suggested that we try to create a “Logic Model”. We didn’t know what that was … but after a little research we found out that a Logic Model is “a visual roadmap that maps a program's resources (inputs) to its activities, then to its direct results (outputs), and finally to the broader changes (outcomes/impact) it aims to achieve, explaining how and why a program is expected to work and create change.” Well we love a challenge, so over a few months staff and members worked together (for hours and hours) to create the Arrowhead Logic Model. It was such an amazing, and informative, experience for us all. But, it was not the easiest thing to show other people, rather on the text heavy side.
And so we decided we needed to create a visual representation. Again we worked together and created this image - the Seeds of Hope - Arrowhead Logic Model. A huge thank you goes to Rachel for her amazing artistic skills. It now sits proudly on the wall in the dinning room. We look at it every day. Take a few moments to explore the image, zoom in for the little details and zoom out to see the big picture. We hope you love it as much as we do.
As always, if you want to know more about Arrowhead reach out to us and we can arrange for a tour (and you can stay for a yummy lunch too).
Thank you Donors from 2025

Arrowhead is needed now more than ever. We cannot keep doing this without you.
Let’s begin with some seasonal cheer. We hope you are enjoying the coziness of this time of year as the nights draw in, hot water bottles come out (if you do not have one, you really should, they are amazing) and the countdown to Christmas begins. As always, we want to share how things are going here at Arrowhead and this year we have made some cool graphics to do so. Check out our funky images!
This year has been financially hard for many people. Funding environments are shifting. In April 2025, we lost around 15% of our income. On March 31st 2026, another piece of core funding, this one from the provincial government through its CAI funding stream, which we have received for six years, is scheduled to end. That funding represents approximately 20% of our funding! As community needs continue to grow, the loss of this financial support will have a significant impact on our ability to deliver services. If we can’t close the funding gap, we will have to reduce our hours to four days a week next year – we’ll be closed on Fridays! That’s a day of support, connection, meals, advocacy, and a safe place to be, that will be severely missed by our members.

We continue to apply for grants, but there are fewer of them and more organisations applying. We will keep applying for grants, but we are also reaching out to our community and supporters now, to help us mitigate this loss and sustain these essential services for those who rely on them. We know times are tight for many. But if you are able to give, even a little, you will be helping the most vulnerable people in our community feel safe, supported and not alone.
In our 2025 member survey, 97% of members said their quality of life has improved since joining Arrowhead Clubhouse. This is up from 95.6% in 2024. We think that is incredible.
Thank you for your time, kindness and consideration.
With gratitude, — Foye, the staff team and members of Arrowhead Clubhouse
