Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Bake Sale

🌻 Join us for our Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Bake Sale! 

🗓️ DATE: Thursday, 6 August 2026.

🕐 TIME: 11:00am-2:00pm

💛 WHERE: Level 4, Building 2, UTS

💰 Bring cash or card to purchase yummy baked goods

ALL FUNDS WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a global symbol used by people with invisible disabilities such as chronic illness, mental health conditions, neurodivergence, sensory processing differences, or pain. The sunflower quietly communicate that they may need a little extra time, patience, or support in public spaces. It’s a way of saying, “I have access needs, even if you can’t see them,” without having to constantly explain or justify those needs. Check out their website: https://hdsunflower.com/ 

At this bake sale, we’re not just raising money – we’re raising awareness. All funds go directly to People With Disabilities Australia (PWD), a national, disability‑led human rights organisation that advocates for equality, accessibility, and systemic change for people with disability across the country. By buying a cupcake or a cookie, you’re helping support their work in law reform, policy, and amplifying the voices of people with disability. Check out their website: https://pwd.org.au/get-involved/donate/ 

Come along, grab something sweet, and take a moment to learn what the sunflower stands for, how you can be a better ally, and how small acts of understanding can make a huge difference in someone’s day. 🌻💛

If you want to contribute by bringing in baked goods and earn Brennan Justice LTS points while you’re at it. Sign‑up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N02mn0pY3dYdk5l7fwzTK8Z4-gw7zYE6Kym9rqsxHd4/edit?usp=sharing   Please label your item and list all ingredients.
