A NUMBER of builders in the Frankston area have put their talent and time into raising funds for Menzies (“Caring for Kids”) the best way they know how.

Buy Property Direct in conjunction with Mainline Developments are the driving force behind the fundraising campaign, which will see the two companies and their affiliated tradesmen build a home in Langwarrin, and then auction it off early next year – with all profits going directly to Menzies Frankston.

Menzies (“Caring for Kids”) is a not-for-profit organisation established in Frankston in 1901 and run by a committee of volunteers. It provides a high standard of support for young people.

Menzies was once involved as a residential care service provider, but is now focused on philanthropy, service and program support.

However, its core mission remains the same – to support young people who can no longer live with their families to be safe, educated and lead fulfilling lives.

David Brewster, managing director of Buy Property Direct, paid special thanks to Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden and the planning team who have supported the project.
