July 21, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 30 people turned up in Kingaroy today for the opening of a door … but it wasn’t just any old door.<\/p>\n

It was SB Care’s new, high-tech automatic opening doors which are making life much easier for everyone who regularly uses the SB Care building \u00a0(probably still better known as the Senior Citizen’s Centre).<\/p>\n

SB Care CEO Cheryl Dalton said replacing the doors was high on her list of priorities when she took over the job at SB Care last year.<\/p>\n

The old doors were heavy to push open, and were locked at ground level.<\/p>\n

“I thought, if I’m flat out opening them, it must be impossible for people with a disability,” she said.<\/p>\n

SB Care sought quotes from local businesses, not only to support local business but to ensure they could be serviced locally.<\/p>\n

They then started fundraising to make the project a reality, setting a budget of $9500.<\/p>\n

The call went out to local service clubs, businesses and community members and the help started rolling in.<\/p>\n

“You just have to ask and people will help,” Cheryl said.<\/p>\n

The new doors will be helpful for people who use wheelchairs and walking frames, as well as the frail aged – and everyone else who uses the building.<\/p>\n

Cheryl said special thanks should be extended to Boehringer Ingelheim who topped up the funds to make the project a reality and Kingaroy Joinery who installed the equipment.<\/p>\n

Two special individuals also made donations to make the project come true, June Kimlin and Clive Steele, from Kingaroy.<\/p>\n
