Murgon Black Coffee Hosted by FNP Recruitment, Stanwell & South Burnett Regional Council

During the entire month of May, Black Coffee Indigenous Business Network will turn purple on a national scale. The month of May marks Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in Queensland, an annual initiative to raise community awareness of domestic and family violence and coercive control, and the support services available. Here at BC HQ we are proudly supporting the nationwide campaign and hard work of GaWun Supplies by elevating awareness via the Black Coffee platform and strong mob networks. Every Black Coffee gathering will turn purple to support and raise awareness. To get behind this incredibly deadly & brave campaign we urge you to support and purchase the purple shirt for change or wear a purple shirt to your May Black Coffee event!

Black Coffee is a grassroots First Nations business networking opportunity held in regions across Australia each month to provide a platform to connect micro and small business owners. First Nations business owners, professionals, and their supporters are invited to get together and have a yarn.

Murgon’s first Black Coffee Event will be hosted by FNP Recruitment, Stanwell & South Burnett Regional Council:
