Leaving a bequest to U3A Brisbane Inc.
Providing a centrally located facility for the holding of affordable classes is always a challenge for us, and we are trying very hard to build up our finances to the point where we can afford to buy some strata titled office space in the CBD.
Any help you can give us towards that goal will not only be greatly appreciated; it will also be serving a high Community purpose in a nation whose population is rapidly ageing. Please use the wording provided on our bequest information sheet. 'Similar wording for comparison' at the rspca qld web site.
Car Parking is not available
