Toc H Brisbane Branch is a group of about 15 committed and active members who undertake grass roots community service in the local area. It is supported by a brigade of enthusiastic volunteers who help with particular projects. The branch has a proud 80 year history and in 2009 merged with the Brisbane Toc H Action Group.
The branch generally meets four times each year. These meetings are relatively informal and held in a relaxed setting on the inner north side of Brisbane at The Coffee Club, Shop 1, 1422-1428 Logan Road, Mt Gravatt. For convenience, there is regular communication by e-mail and telephone with Facebook notices of upcoming events. The main projects undertaken by the branch each year are: |
