Perth unites to show philanthropic spirit

More than 100 staff from CBRE Perth will embrace their philanthropic spirit next month, when they join forces to undertake a major rejuvenation project for not-for-profit-organisation, Rise Network.

Rise Network is a Western Australian-based charity organisation providing community support and services to disadvantaged people.

Works include new pathways, wheelchair accessible vegetable garden beds, shaded areas, barbecue areas, fencing and guide rails.

CBRE is aiming to raise $38,000 to fund the project.

CBRE’s Managing Director, Western Australia, Lloyd Jenkins said CBRE was proud to support such an important cause.

"The project forms part of CBRE’s corporate volunteering program CBRE Cares – an Australian wide annual initiative that sees hundreds of staff take part in a range of charity pursuits, he said.

RISE Network provides support to those impacted by mental health issues; people living with disability; aged care services; youth services; and housing support.
