Partners
The Tropical Fruits enjoys fantastic working relationships with a number of GLBTI and GLBTI-friendly organisations. It is these connections within our community that help us provide our members with the best support and information possible.
ACON Northern Rivers
ACON Northern Rivers and Tropical Fruits have had a synergistic, loved-up and generally wonderful partnership for many years. In addition to providing a conduit through which information can flow, ACON supports Tropical Fruits through:
· Safe Sex Rovers at events
· Party Safe and Safe Sex packs at events
· Regular contribution to newsletters
· Printing and promotional support
· Representatives on the Fruits management committee (when possible)
· Stalls and promotional displays at events
In 2013, this relationship was formalised with a Memorandum of Understanding, ensuring a happy and sustainable partnership for years to come.
