Homeless Connect
This was organised by Brisbane City Council and HOPE had a booth. HOPE was one of many organisations present to meet with needs of the Homeless Community in Brisbane.

​From the HOPE booth food was distributed to the homeless and the needy and Participants filled out surveys asking them to identify needs such as clothing, food, community resources.

Subsequent follow-up by phone with Participants who had filled out forms was subsequently carried out and once their specific needs were identified, food, clothing and bedding supplies were delivered to them.

Letter of Support to an international student who has helped with HOPE activities in Brisbane – the student was considered for The Order of Australia Association Secondary Schools Citizenship Award. We have received confirmation that student is one of only twelve students in Queensland who received of this award. As such, she was invited to attend Parliament House to receive the award from the Queensland Governor.

Testimonial from the Retirement Home.
Good afternoon, Debbie.
May I offer you, Alice and Ben, and your choir members, a huge thank you for the beautiful performances here at Bluecare Kenmore on Saturday afternoon. Residents have told me that it was just beautiful, and the quality of singing was mentioned more than a number of times! I understand that the staff did a wonderful job, meeting and greeting your members, and getting many more residents than expected to the Activities Rooms. J
The residents loved their bears, how very kind of you all to gift them.

Thank you, again, Debbie, for initiating this event. It is special gift to share with others. Thank you all.

With kind regards
Sandy.
