A volunteer-run, not-for-profit charity bringing neighbours together across Brisbane's Centenary Suburbs.
About CCC00 / About CCC
CCC began in 1999 when two local P&C presidents asked what our schools and community groups could do if they pooled their resources. Every event since has been run by volunteers, with the money raised going back into the community.
Relaxed morning teas for women of any age, started in 2019.
Four one-hour sessions with Asia Pacific Self Defence, for ages 13 to 70+.
