Events to note for 2015

Launch of the Civil Justice Fund

Wednesday 18 March 2015
5.30pm to 7.30pm
Ashurst, Level 38, 123 Eagle Street, Brisbane

We will be extending invitations in the New Year to attend the launch of the Civil Justice Fund. This is a sub-fund of the Queensland Community Foundation that was established by QPILCH with funding from the Public Trustee of Queensland and Legal Aid Queensland. The funds donated to the Civil Justice Fund are managed in perpetuity and the income generated each year will be used to fulfil the objectives as follows:

• to facilitate equal access to the civil justice system to disadvantaged Queenslanders
• to foster partnerships between community legal centres and the private profession
• to provide funds for practical legal projects and civil casework
• to help satisfy unmet legal need in Queensland
• to support research to assist in developing practical legal services.

Supporters can include a bequest to the Civil Justice Fund in their Will. Once realised, their bequest will be invested and remain in perpetuity and the interest earned will be directed to the work of the Civil Justice Fund. Do you know someone who would like to support the Civil Justice Fund? Please note your diary.
