Staff & Volunteers

The difference between a helping hand and an outstretched palm is a twist of the wrist.

~Laurence Leamer, King of the Night

In 2009 The Umbrella Network secured a small amount of funding from Disability Services which enabled us to have an office space as well as a part-time staff member. Cootharinga North Queensland have not only assisted by Auspicing our organisation but in 2009 – 2011 invited us to utilise their office space to work from. Its coffee room , offices and amenities were well used! For more information about the great work they do you can visit them at www.cootharinga.org.au
