The perfect ingredient mix to lasting community connections, Scone Time - Image: Sconetime FB
From Beerwah to Cooroy, from the hinterland to the coast, the ever-popular Scone Time remains the perfect ingredient mix to lasting community connections. Local communities are putting their hands up to support local
Sunshine Coast Foodie, Martin Duncan, to ensure that these sought-after community morning teas become as legendary as the unique heritage venues where they are held.

Sunshine Coast Foodie first got the idea of Scone Time from a video that popped up on his Facebook feed, relating to loneliness and disconnect, experienced by the community's treasured seniors. Martin,
aka Sunshine Coast Foodie, has always believed that people can relate to scones and loves using his scones to connect people, whether it be to host monthly catch ups between traders or, in this instance, creating opportunities for the young-at-heart to socialise, through a Scone Time event.

The very first Scone Time was launched in 2018 in the revitalised Cooroy Memorial Hall, before extending the tradition to Montville Village Hall, Bankfoot House in the Glass House Mountains, Caloundra and now Beerwah has been added to this impressive venue list. As well as putting life back into our historical old buildings, Scone Time ensures that our senior young-at-hearts feel more connected to their communities, at a regular fun social outing.

All local businesses are invited to contribute financially to help subsidise the cost of a Scone Time get-together in their community. Alternatively, donation of time is a fabulous option to get involved - either with volunteering or table hosting - or perhaps simply by paying it forward for a guest (and carer) to attend one of these social outings, as a one-off attendance. With the continued involvement of local companies, these social events will generate a positive social outcome in the community and enough income to continue covering the running costs, thereby ensuring Scone Time's ongoing success.
