Toc H Queensland — Serving since 1925
People

people.
Toc H Queensland is a volunteer movement dedicated to building friendships and offering service throughout the community. Our work helps the disadvantaged and marginalised, and breaks down the barriers that divide people from one another.
The movement brings together people of all ages from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. Toc H members enjoy serving the community in practical, worthwhile activities. We are, in effect, people caring for people.
Our Vision: "Toc H will build better communities by reaching out to all in friendship and service, confronting prejudices and practising Christian values."

The Toc H Motto — About our motto →
Toc H was born in the trenches of World War I and grew into a global movement. Our founder, Tubby Clayton, was born right here in Maryborough, Queensland — making our Queensland connection as deep as the movement's very roots.
Toc H has a rich and surprising history — with deep roots right here in Queensland.
Each year, Toc H Queensland members undertake a wide variety of activities and programs — from quiet acts of remembrance to the joy of the Ekka.
Toc H League of Helpers and General Members provide opportunities to brighten the lives of those in retirement homes — through visits, concerts and companionship. Because everyone deserves to feel seen and valued.

Find out moreToc H Queensland has been finding new ways to serve for over 100 years — and we're not done yet. New programs and community partnerships are always in development. Stay tuned.
Get in touchToc H Queensland is made up of four active branches, each serving their local community while united by our shared values and mission.
The League of Helpers also plays an important supporting role across our programs — particularly in caring for the elderly and supporting community welfare activities.
Prayer has always been an essential part of the Toc H way of life. It played an important part in the daily life at Talbot House during World War I, and since then it has been an important part of every Toc H gathering. Tubby Clayton, the Founder of the Toc H Movement, encouraged every member to know this prayer and to use it.
Whether you want to volunteer, donate, or simply find out more — we'd love to hear from you. Every act of service, no matter how small, helps build a better community.
