The Lord Mayor’s Community Trust formalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Cystic Fibrosis Qld and the Brisbane City Council on 24 May 2005. The Council’s Library Services have agreed to supply surplus library materials to the Cystic Fibrosis Bookshop for resale, with a percentage of sales being directed towards the Lord Mayor’s Community Trust.
Cystic Fibrosis has a very active team of volunteers that support the operations at the Bookshop, which is open 7 days a week. It has a wide range of books and magazines for sale at very reasonable prices. |  |

Lady Mayoress Australia Day Auction in Partnership with Devine Ltd
In 2006 the Lord Mayor's Community Trust signed a letter of intent to enter into a partnership with Devine Ltd to raise funds. On Australia Day 2007 this partnership was realised with the first Lady Mayoress Australia Day Auction Appeal.
In its first year, the appeal raised $521,000 which will be given to Australia's first Centre for Young People, located in the inner city of Brisbane. The centre is currently being built and will be completed in 2009.
This partnership has become an annual commitment and in 2008 the event partners - Divine Ltd, Channel Ten and Triple M - will host the second Australia Day Auction on Saturday 26 January at Lot 123, Wandera Court, Redbank Plains. Funds raised this year will directly support sustainable projects which assist young people in real need to find and secure their future.
This year the organisations nominated to benefit from the appeal campaign are:
Life Education
Bayside Adolescent Boarding Inc.
Abused Child's Trust
Teen Challenge
