Belong Community

Belong Community Acacia Ridge Community Centre has provided essential services and support to the local communities of Acacia Ridge and surrounding districts for over 30 years.

The centre has been managed by Communify since 2022. We have recently adopted 'belong' as our new name as we are now delivering services and programs to people and communities far beyond our base in Acacia Ridge. belong (formerly Acacia Ridge Community Support Inc.) has been delivering services to the community for almost 25 years. We are a team that shares a belief that communities are strengthen

ed and positive when the most vulnerable are supported and included in all aspects of life. belong is proud to provide place-based support and welcome through our two community spaces: The vibrant Acacia Ridge Community Centre, and our new base at The Social Space in Moorooka. Our headquarters at the Acacia Ridge Community Centre is open to the community Monday - Thursday from 9:00 am until 12:30 pm or 4:30pm by appointment only on (07) 3277 4893. The Food Co-op is open from Tuesday - Thursday from 9:00am - 12:00pm. Both locations also include spaces available to to hire by the community.

We pause to honour National Sorry Day (May 26th), remembering the Stolen Generations and all who were impacted. Today marks 29 years since the tabling of the "Bringing them Home" report, which was a landmark truth-telling document that detailed the extent of the atrocities inflicted on the Stolen Generations, and made recommendations for appropriate reparations to survivors and their families.

"Saying sorry matters" - to acknowledge the truth and show compassion.

Tomorrow, May 27th, is the 59th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum, which advanced constitutional rights for First Nations peoples. The referendum proposed to change the Constitution so that Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples would be counted in the census, and conferred power to the Australian Government to make federal laws for First Nations peoples.

Some Reconciliation Week activities happening this week around Brisbane:
📍 Murri Trivia – Wed 27 May, 5:30-7:30pm, UQ St Lucia
📍 Walking Together Acting Together – 27 & 28 May, WesleReconciliation Australia
📍 Candlelight Vigil – Sun 31 May, 5-6pm, King George Square

More events can be found on the Reconciliation Week website: https://www.reconciliation.org.au/calendar/list/

Today marks the beginning of National Volunteer Week 2026! This week, we’re celebrating some of the incredible volunteers who make our Food Co-Op at Acacia Ridge Community Centre a welcoming, supportive space for all 🤗.

🩵 Muz – Muz has volunteered with us since 2015 and is passionate about reducing food waste and giving back. She finds socialising and helping others to be incredibly rewarding. If you’re thinking about volunteering, Muz says to just give it a go!

🧡 Steve – Steve joined our volunteer family in 2020 after a career change. He finds purpose in supporting the community and connecting with older generations, saying that it keeps him active and reminds him to be more understanding.

🩷 Joan – A loyal volunteer since 2006, Joan finds joy in connecting with new people, building friendships, and making a real difference in the community. She loves how volunteering gets her out of the house and connects her with people she wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to meet.

💜 Michelle – Since 2009, Michelle has loved helping people from all walks of life. Volunteering has deepened her understanding of others’ struggles and improved her own mental health. Her advice? Try different roles and don’t be discouraged - every experience counts.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who are the heart of our community centre, creating a place where everyone belongs.
