It is a sad fact that thousands of Queensland Children suffer some form of child abuse every year. But the Abused Child Trust can help. The Trust provides prevention and treatment programmes for families experiencing, or at risk of, child abuse or neglect. These programmes offer the specialised help of a social worker, psychologist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist and nurse to assist individuals and families to resolve the issues that maintain destructive patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour - helping them break the cycle of abuse. The
Abused Child Trust needs your assistance to continue this work.

The Walk Against Want is Australia's longest running outdoor fundraising event. The Walk Against Want has been running since 1967. Over that time we have raised more than $10 million dollars to help communities help themselves. We channel funds directly to local partner organisations working with poor communities. We work closely with these partners, who are accountable to our head office. Less than 10 cents in the dollar is spent on administration and reserves. A further 15 cents is used to increase donated income through marketing and fundraising. How does taking a nice leisurely Sunday afternoon walk along Brisbane's scenic river with friends and family sound? Give a voice to the farmers, labourers, and factory workers who are being disadvantaged by the blatantly unfair rules of world trade. Help make a difference.

Why support the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation? More
than 7000 Aussie kids have insulin dependant diabetes - and at the
moment there is no cure. This insidious disease, will for the majority,
reduce their quality of life through the development of devastating
complications. Our mission is to find a cure for diabetes and its
complications through the funding of medical research. JDF is focused,
lean and efficient and its proven by the fact that no other private
organisation provides more money to diabetes research than we do.
