Memory Walk & Jog Returns to Scarborough for 2026 Dementia Fundraiser

Photo Credit: Memory Walk & Jog

The Memory Walk & Jog is returning to Scarborough as the community prepares for a fundraising event supporting people living with dementia.

Background of the Scarborough Event

The Memory Walk & Jog will return to Scarborough Beach Park on Saturday, 6 June 2026 as part of a national series of events. The fundraiser supports people living with dementia, their families and carers, and forms one of several locations taking place across Australia.

In 2025, an estimated 433,300 Australians are living with dementia, including more than 8,060 people in the Moreton Bay region. Projections indicate that the number of Australians living with dementia is expected to exceed one million by 2065. Dementia is identified as the leading cause of death for Australians in recent reporting.

The Scarborough event sits within a broader campaign that aims to raise more than $2.5 million to help fund support, education and services, alongside research and other programs.

Event Details at Scarborough Beach Park

Participants will gather at Scarborough Beach Park from 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, 6 June 2026. The event offers three course options: a 2.5-kilometre walk, a 5.5-kilometre walk or jog and a 10-kilometre timed run.

The Scarborough Memory Walk & Jog encourages people to take part at their own pace, whether walking or running. Friends, families, colleagues and pets are all invited to join the activities at the seaside park.

At present, the Redcliffe event has raised $1,124 towards a local goal of $115,000, with 5 teams and 21 participants registered. Across the national campaign, a total of $35,753 has been raised so far toward a $2.5 million fundraising target.

Why the Scarborough Event Matters

Dementia is reported as the leading cause of death for Australians, underlining the need for continued support services and research. In Queensland alone, there are an estimated 85,000 people living with dementia.

Funds raised through the Memory Walk & Jog are directed into counselling programs, education, support lines and research efforts. The Scarborough event contributes to this national effort, supporting organisations working with people impacted by dementia.

Community Participation and National Series

Each year, tens of thousands of Australians take part in Memory Walk & Jog events across the country. This year, 14 locations are included in the series, ranging from regional centres to major cities.

The Scarborough Memory Walk & Jog is one stop in this series, listed alongside events held before and after 6 June 2026. Participants can register as individuals or groups, set up fundraising pages and share their efforts with friends and family.

What Comes Next

Registrations are open for the Scarborough event, with options for walkers, joggers and runners. People can purchase tickets, create fundraising pages and prepare for the courses at Scarborough Beach Park.

After the Scarborough event, the Memory Walk & Jog series will continue at other locations across Australia, building on the fundraising totals and ongoing awareness for dementia.

‘Illegal’ Street Library in Clontarf Sparks Community Support

Photo Credit: Melissa Forbes/Instagram

A Clontarf resident’s street library, once labelled non-compliant, has become a symbol of community spirit after widespread support helped keep it alive.

Background and Origin of the Dispute

In January 2025, Clontarf resident Melissa Forbes placed a small book-sharing box on the grass verge outside her home near the Beedham Street bus stop. The “give a book, take a book” initiative aimed to encourage reading and neighbourly connection across the Redcliffe Peninsula.

Shortly after installation, a complaint was lodged with the Moreton Bay City Council. The structure was deemed non-compliant as it stood on council land in line with a bus shelter and footpath, which raised safety and access concerns. Forbes was informed that continuing the project would require a permit and $20 million in public liability insurance.

Although she submitted the required application, the permit was later denied.

Community Reaction and Support

The decision prompted strong community response. Residents across Clontarf and Redcliffe rallied behind Forbes, writing letters and launching an online petition that gathered hundreds of signatures within days.

Locals expressed that the book nook had quickly become a valued part of the neighbourhood, encouraging connection and small acts of generosity. Support also arrived from further afield, with messages of encouragement sent from overseas, including the UK, the US, and Serbia.

The public interest even drew a visit from a local representative, who agreed the structure posed no harm. The groundswell of backing underscored how small community efforts can unite residents around shared values.

Resolution and New Beginning

Seven months after the initial complaint, Forbes relocated the street library from the verge to her fence line to comply with council safety requirements. The revised setup no longer required a permit and was welcomed as a compliant solution.

The book box returned under a new name — the “Illegal Book Box” — referencing the earlier dispute. Despite the setback, Forbes said the experience helped her achieve the community engagement she had originally hoped for.

Council later confirmed it was satisfied with the revised location and acknowledged that such small libraries can be valuable local assets when safely installed.

Lasting Impact in Clontarf

Since its reinstatement, the “Illegal Book Box” has continued to operate in Clontarf, with locals contributing and borrowing books regularly. Forbes has since supported efforts to provide clear information for residents interested in setting up their own street libraries to avoid similar obstacles.

Forbes reflected that the experience prompted broader discussion about how neighbourhoods can balance community projects with public safety rules.
