24.01.2022 The great news from the Prime Minister and Queensland Government this afternoon means some of the COVID-19 restrictions are starting to be eased. I don't know about you but the restrictions, while being great for helping us as a community minimise its spread, have really made us here realise the things we take for granted, like a pub lunch, catching up with friends or heading to the beach!! We're kicking our plans into action around what our groups and activities to run over... the coming weeks and months and have created a survey with some ideas and are keen to know if you're interested in any of these. Also if there's something else you're thinking you'd like to do please include it! It might be a little while before we can do the things we've thought of, or what you suggest, but it's always good to have a plan! If you're not a client of ours already, feel free to complete the survey and leave your name and contact details at the bottom and we'll give you a call to talk about getting you involved with us!
