๐ HELP SHOULD BE AVAILABLE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE ๐
Queensland is a very big state, and where you live shouldnโt determine whether help is available when you need it most.
Weโre incredibly grateful to Queensland Gives and the Queensland Community Foundation for supporting communities across Northern Queensland.
Our Head of Community & Corporate Partnerships, Nikki Firmin, had the privilege of speaking at the 2026 Northern Queensland Grant Recipient Celebration in Townsville, sharing what this funding will mean for people experiencing domestic and family violence across the north.
A special thank you to Tara and the Queensland Gives team in Brisbane, who do so much behind the scenes to make opportunities like this possible, and to Sandy, Bill and Lyn from the North Queensland Committee, whose local perspective is so important to giving in the region. ๐
Through our $5,000 Queensland Gives grant, DV Safe Phone will provide 60 DV Safe Phone Kits, supporting 60 lives across Northern Queensland.
A Safe Phone provides a private connection to police, refuges, family, banking, Centrelink, legal assistance, housing, employment and the services needed to start again.
Sometimes, that connection can save a life. ๐ฑ๐
Weโre proud to stand alongside the other 2026 Northern Queensland grant recipients and celebrate the incredible work happening across the region.
A huge thank you to Queensland Country Bank for hosting the celebration in Townsville. Our relationship with their team is incredibly special, and their commitment to local communities is something we see time and time again.
Our heartfelt thanks to Queensland Gives, Queensland Community Foundation, the North Queensland Committee, Queensland Country Bank, and everyone championing giving in the regions.
Congratulations to all of the 2026 Northern Queensland grant recipients. ๐
Letโs keep more funding, resources and opportunities flowing north. ๐ฑ๐
