OUR VISION & MISSION
We are a not-for-profit organisation providing a range of services and activities to defence and civilian families on the Darling Downs. Our mission is to help minimise social and cultural isolation for our serving members. We understand better than anyone the isolating feelings a new posting can bring, so our aim is to provide a facility where the community can come together to socialise and make connections in a comfortable environment.
Our organisation is run by a coordinator in conjunction with a committee who is made up of volunteers (President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer). Our primary source of funding comes from the Family Support Funding Program (FSFP) and we run fundraising activities throughout the year to help subsidise our activities.
Each week we come together and offer a variety of programs - fitness, playgroup, coffee mornings, craft, training and courses, and throughout the term we plan family events in celebration of Easter, Halloween, Christmas etc. as well as ladies nights and school holidays. Check out our range of activities via our private facebook group "Chit Chat with Toowoomba Defence Families" or join our e-mail list.
Why not drop in and see us… New faces are always welcome!
