Brisbane’s Lifeline Bookfest hopes to raise 1.5 million dollars this year, after being cancelled twice in 2020 due to Covid-19.
Lifeline offers 24-hour crisis support via the phone number 13 11 14 and they say there’s been a 40% increase in calls over the past year.
Lifeline has over 1000 crates of books they hope to sell with the help of 2000 volunteers.
The Bookfest will take place at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26th June to July 4th.
Head to the Lifeline website if you want to volunteer.
