In announcing the arrangement, Barnardos Community Fundraising Manager Ben Chinnock, and Peter Druitt & Co director Peter Druitt, said the money raised in the sponsorship would be going directly to the Mudgee branch of Barnardos.

Peter Druitt Real Estate will be making a cash donation to Barnardos every time they complete a sale, and with the growth in the business so will the money going to help local kids in crisis continue to grow.

Mr Druitt said that, while he acknowledged the great work of many charitable organisations in Mudgee, in the minds of the team nothing was more important than children who find themselves in crisis due to circumstances over which they have absolutely no control. 

“If we can assist these kids at these critical times and give them a chance to lead a full life,  not only does the child benefit, but the whole community does when the long term outcome is a healthy, happy, productive adult” Mr Druitt said. 

Barnardos Australia builds relationships between children, young people, their families and the community.
