💜 Brisbane charities are a critical lifeline for our city's most vulnerable and the need has never been greater. Cost-of-living pressures, a housing crisis and the scourge of domestic violence are impacting so many people in our community right now. Last week, the Lord Mayor's Charitable Trust acknowledged the incredible work of our charities, with 22 grants awarded to help them continue supporting Brisbane residents. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to our charities and to everyone who has donated to the Lord Mayor's Charitable Trust.

The Lord Mayor's Charitable Trust helped to facilitate an incredible donation to four charities in Brisbane. The Chinese Culture Centre (QLD) kindly donated 100 brand new coffee tables and TV units to local charities, including Hearts of Purple. We're proud to support charities like Hearts of Purple who have recently purchased a block of land to build emergency housing for domestic violence victims. Thank you, The Chinese Culture Centre (QLD). 👏

Many charitable organisations in Brisbane rely on the Lord Mayor's Charitable Trust to support vulnerable people. Every dollar donated by the generous people and businesses of Brisbane has a profound impact. These contributions reach far and wide across our city, and make a meaningful difference to the charities we support. Thank you. 💜
