Other Events in 2013:

DISCOS IN THE CITY
In 2012 we hosted two discos for children aged 5-12 ‘Pirate Palooza’, and for children aged 13-17 ‘Daggy Disco'. In 2013 we will continue to host these themed discos based on feedback from the different age groups. This is a great way to bring families into the city. Parents can leave their children in a safe environment and enjoy dinner or a movie in the inner city.

In partnership with Artgaze Magazine, FTTC will run special event movie matinees at 11:30am – 1pm, for children, featuring movies from outside the commercial realm. 2012's movies included the original The Wizard of Oz, Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas. This programme is aimed at bringing families into the city either to watch the movies with their child or enjoy some inner city shopping at the Cotters Markets.

NQ ROOTS CONNECTION
This is a local music group put together by long time musos  Mike Emslie from the Longshots and Craig Smith from Pachooka. Together with FTTC they will host 3 music gigs a year featuring 4 local bands per gig.

 
SENIORS CREATING CHANGE
With Townsville Community Legal Service.
Together we will take the SCC on the road to visit regional communities. Seniors Creating Change are a Townsville-based group of people over the age of 55 who volunteer their time to sing suddenly and unexpectedly throughout NQ to raise awareness of seniors issues and to promote a positive image of ageing.  Their efforts to date have resulted in numerous web and media articles, the annual Respect for Seniors March and raising the issue of elder abuse in the Australian Parliament.  While having an enormous amount of fun, they continue to reduce social isolation for their peers in the community and encourage others to stay active and healthy.
Seniors Creating Change was developed by the Townsville Community Legal Service’s specialist Seniors Legal and Support Service (SLASS) as a prelude to World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2011.  The project was designed around one of the findings of the Missing Voices: Views of Older Persons on Elder Abuse Report, which suggests that ageism, is a major cause of elder abuse.  The report also recommends that older persons themselves be empowered to make changes in the community and raise issues of concern.
