Jan '10 Retreat @ FC

At this retreat we made our own food by going down to the local shops to buy our own ingredients. We managed to make a lot of different meals ranging from Vegetarian skewers, non-Vegetarian skewers, h'dourves, Turkish bread, multiple salads, and a stir-fry.

Here are a few pics from the first ever FC Retreat @ 93 Brisbane St in January 2010!

FC Moves premises on October 26th!

In case you haven't heard, Freedom Centre is moving premises on Monday 26th October 2009!!

The new premises will be just around the corner from the old one at
93 Brisbane St.
Northbridge, PERTH 6000
It's right next door to the Perth Centre for Photography and across the road from the oval. The new Centre is going to have the front painted purple so it will be easily recognisable!

Come see the new Freedom Centre at the FC Open Day on Saturday 31st October 1-4pm!

Here's a couple of maps to show you where the new premises are :)

Stars of the Future!

So we've been failing at keeping up with the FC blog because we've bee SOOOOO busy doing a few phases of Faces for Freedom, FC Retreats, Fairday and STARS OF THE FUTURE!!

Last Wednesday we were privileged to see the performances of many of the AWESOME FC visitors at Stars of the Future!!
Here are a few of the photos

Faces for Freedom is OUT!!

And we want YOUR photos for the project!!

'Faces for Freedom' is a way of making a statement against homophobia, and for human rights in Australia!

Faces for Freedom is a project of the Freedom Centre in support of IDAHo (International Day Against Homophobia, May 17). The project is based on the US project called Faces of Us.
