Broncos lend a hand at Mission Australia's Cafe One on Wickham

Recently Brisbane Broncos players were joined by Rugby League great Alan Langer for a day of volunteering at Mission Australia's Cafe One on Wickham.

As part of their partnership with Cafe One, the Broncos provide financial support, home game promotions each season and access to volunteering opportunities for the players.

This year, the club introduced the 'Broncos in the Community' program, which involves the players volunteering each Wednesday to work with one of the seven charities supported by the club. Last week was devoted to Cafe One, with both players and clients thoroughly enjoying the experience.

The Broncos players helped the Cafe staff with serving food, wiping tables and general cleaning.

With a professional career in Queensland Rugby League spanning two decades, Alan Langer doesn't need to go far in Brisbane to find his fans - and Cafe One is no exception! Alan thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the Cafe's clients, sharing his experiences and a few laughs.

His presence will endure for a long time - one client mentioned to Cafe staff recently that he didn't get to meet a "legend of the game" very often and would be "keeping his autograph forever".

The Broncos will be working with other charity partners in coming months, with another visit to Cafe One due early May.
