Left Write Hook Program is Coming to the Sunshine Coast

We are thrilled to announce that our 8-week groundbreaking, survivor led, research informed writing and boxing program is making its out of state debut on the beautiful Sunshine Coast beginning February 2026! This is an amazing opportunity to spread the power of Left Write Hook beyond state borders.

The program will be open to all female and gender diverse survivors of childhood sexual abuse and gender-based violence and will run over 8 consecutive weeks from 7 February until 28 March. Run by a lived-experience facilitator, the program will combine creative writing and boxing in a group setting with a focus on community, connection and empowerment. 

We invite all female and gender diverse survivors 18 or over to put in an expression of interest. Fitness is no barrier and all ability levels are welcome, whether you have never touched a boxing glove before or have been hitting the bag for years.

If you would like to check us out in person, come along to the Left Write Hook screening and Q+A of our award winning documentary on October 1st at Event Cinemas Maroochydore. You will have a chance to meet the founder and CEO of Left Write Hook, Dr Donna Lyon, a documentary participant and Mish Walter, a lived experience facilitator who will be running the Sunshine Coast program.
