Supporting AEIOU Townsville

Our beloved Townsville centre was destroyed by fire in the early hours of Saturday 23 March. This is a matter that is now with the police.

AEIOU Townsville, located at Ridley Road in Kirwan, has supported hundreds of families over more than 15 years.

The centre itself was humble, and we have been excited about our new build over in Idalia. However, the existing site is more than just a building. It was filled with heart, and a beautiful community nurtured by our centre manager Emma Newham, and our wonderful Townsville team.

Our team and the families in our Townsville community are our immediate priority. We are urgently seeking an alternative space to get back to doing what we love: working alongside the children we have the privilege of supporting.

There has been – and continues to be – an outpouring of support from far and wide in our community, for which we are so grateful. If you would like to show your support, we would be so grateful.

We extend special thanks to our friends at Hutchinson Builders, who immediately offered us office space as a temporary HQ for our team.

We hope to be able to share a positive update with our community soon.
