Winter 2012

For the six months between 1 January 2012 and 30 June 2012, the Power Tynan Charitable Trust has been raising funds to support their chosen charities – Toowoomba Hospice, Granite Belt Support Services and Royal Flying Doctors Service.

The Toowoomba Hospice has an ‘Adopt a Room’ program, in which we have adopted a room for the year. The donation to the Granite Belt Support Services will cover a month’s worth of rent for their art.works on davadi gallery in Stanthorpe, which has been designed primarily to provide opportunities to artists with a disability.

Recently, we presented Elsie Denham, 2012 RFDS Spirit of Queensland Awards Entrant, with a cheque for $2 000.00 to support the publication of the Royal Flying Doctors Service History Book. All of the proceeds from sales of the book will go directly to supporting the vital work of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

The majority of funds raised have been from staff contributions, including concepts such as the gold coin Casual Friday donations and the deductions from wages. The committee would like to thank the staff for their generosity over the last six months, and feel privileged to be able to offer assistance to such worthy causes.

If charities would like to be considered as beneficiaries of the Trust, or if you would like to make a donation to the Trust, please contact the committee of the Power Tynan Charitable Trust on 4632 9873.
