Cuppa PLUS Inc.
The word Cuppa may be an older word but when you hear it said, it means come sit with me and spend some time chatting while we have a cup of tea or coffee. It implies socialising and feeling good, and that is why we choose it as our name and as part of our Logo.
Cuppa PLUS Inc.is a charity with a sole focus - reducing the terrible impact of social isolation on the community, and especially on Seniors, across the council regions of Logan and the Scenic Rim. We do this by running a variety of regular activities across these regions, including our Emergency Relief program.
It is more than just a Cuppa, it is about helping improve the mental, physical, emotional and social health by reducing social isolation in these communities.
Julie and Rachelle are the founders of Cuppa PLUS and we are passionate about helping our community, and especially Seniors.
Our office is located downstairs in the CADDIES Building at 19 South Street Jimboomba, which puts us in a central location for being able to help reduce social isolation in Logan and the Scenic Rim.
