We provide training for volunteer managers and community organisations to strengthen the not-for-profit sector and hold networking events for the NFP, Business and Government sectors to help in developing relationships.
Our current services are only available in Townsville, with a vision to expanding to Palm Island, Ingham, Charters Towers and the Burdekin.
