I get upset expressing my serious concern for the homeless living in Brisbane and outskirts at this time. And also in many places across Australia. Many people are struggling. As per this image, many are being moved on with nowhere to go.

I have volunteered for an organisation called Drug Arm for 10 years, an organisation that provides Alcohol and other Drug (AOD) counselling and rehab services across Qld and NSW. More recently I have been volunteering on the front line, for 3 hours once a fortnight, connecting with the homeless and giving ozharvest collected food and tea and coffee etc. and trying to provide some hope.

A few of the regular organisations are struggling for volunteers including Orange Sky Laundry, Rosies and even Drug Arm, if you feel called to help out please jump on their websites to lend a hand for a few hours a fortnight or a month. They are not only located in Brisbane but at the Gold Coast, Moreton Bay, Maryborough, Bundaberg and across Qld. And if in another state there are many organisations that are needing volunteers to help our horrible homeless situation in Australia.

A long overdue catch up with old friends and some guilt free pleasures on a Sunday at Southbank
