AAIC aims to expose the drug Ice for what it really is, an insidiously poisonous chemical concoction that eventually, and often rapidly, destroys the physical and mental health of almost everyone who uses it, with the destruction of families and friendships, and often su***de, as the ultimate outcome.

This seven and a half minute television interview provides a concise summary of AAIC Founder and Chief Executive Andre’a Simmons story - why AAIC was formed and what we aim to achieve.

Pyjama Foundation looking for donations of activity and sticker books with a birthday card for children in foster care. Please see details below for drop off. Collector asking for donations to be dropped off in next two weeks.

One of the charities we have been honoured to support in the past year is the Jack Beasley Foundation. Very happy to see that Brett Beasley and Belinda Beasley and Qld Police delivered the first of hopefully many educational sessions in high schools about the devastation that knife crime causes.

In a massive 12 months the foundation set up in Jack’s name have been catalysts for giving police the ability (on a trial) to use a wand to check youths for weapons in and around the GC night precinct for the protection of all of us, especially our kids. Jump onto their FB page and sign their petition to make the trial a permanent change for QPOL.

Congratulations to all of the Jack Beasley Foundation members ❤️
