A Place to Belong
A Place to Belong aims to help facilitate inclusive, connected communities.
It is their aim that people who live with mental health challenges will be able to find places of welcome and respect and inclusion. It aims to resource and inspire people in the community who wish to offer the vital friendship and thread of contact for which others yearn. The organisation searches for and locates community minded people who are willing to offer friendship to others who are excluded and are struggling to find their place to belong.

The 139 Club
The 139 Club was established in 1975 by a group of concerned citizens who set up a drop-in centre and a refuge for the homeless. This was first housed at 139 Charlotte Street, hence the name "139 Club". The 139 Club provides a safe environment in inner city Brisbane for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, to access a range of support services aimed at enhancing social inclusion.
Angligreen - Diocese of Brisbane Environment Group
Angligreen came into being in response to the concern of many people in the Diocese about the state of the environment (God's Creation!). It is now a large group of people from many parishes in the Brisbane Diocese.
These people had been establishing various environmental initiatives in their own parishes. The group felt there was a need to have a body at diocesan level to promote the need for all Christians to care for God's Creation and to try to halt and, if possible, heal some of the damage that we humans have done to the earth over many years.
Their aim is to make themselves available to help parishes with environmental sustainability and practical initiatives that they might wish to engage in. As an official agency of the Diocese of Brisbane, Angligreen is part of the Parishes and Other Mission Agencies Commission.
