Making a difference in our community

Fitzpatricks Real Estate is now into its 60th year of making a difference within our community, with over $100,000 donated back into our community throughout the past 5 years.
To celebrate their 60th anniversary, Fitzpatricks Real Estate has proudly partnered with Mission Australia’s Wagga Youth Connections. Throughout this year, Fitzpatricks Real Estate has been donating approximately $1,200 per month directly to Wagga Youth Connections. This generous donation will continue throughout the year to assist the centre and make a real difference to the youth in need of support in the Wagga Wagga area. So far they have raised over $3,540 to the end of March and hope this will be $12,000 - $14,000 by the end of the year.
To take their donation one step further and to physically show their support, Fitzpatricks Real Estate held a working bee last Saturday at Wagga Youth Connections in Thorne Street.
This working bee was a way for Fitzpatricks Real Estate employees to further develop their relationship with the staff and residents of Wagga Youth Connections and was also a fantastic way to help brighten up the lives of residents of the refuge, both now in the short term and in the future.
“We are going to give the front and rear yards a vibrant and fresh makeover,” said Director Brendan Madigan. “This makeover will included a general tidy up of the grounds as well as adding new plants, updating the entertaining area and installing a new barbecue,” said Brendan.
Heather Manning, Service Manager - Wagga Youth Connections said “the benefits of such generous community spirit works in many ways, not only will the young people be able to experience a much more pleasurable surrounding and have something to be proud of, they see first hand what it means to be involved in and a valued member of a caring supportive community.”
They have received generous support from the community including landscaping supplies kindly donated by Loam and Stone, plus the purchase of a new barbecue with the help of Palm Air, Harmers Plumbing Solutions and Allan Woolstencroft’s Handyman Service have also offered support and will provide expert assistance on the day.
