Across the month of May, BSE walked ran, cycled and swum a collective 1,173 km for the Property Industry Foundation! Through the efforts of Team BSE and our incredibly supportive family, friends and colleagues, we raised $1,036 to support housing initiatives for homeless youth.

BSE had a standout team member who has completed the challenge in the top 5 participants in the walking category, crossing a whopping 323kms (for context, that equates to over 10kms per day) across the 30-day period, Godfrey Frederick has been gifted a wonderful PIF 30 Day Challenge t-shirt (pictured) to celebrate his wonderful efforts.

Godfrey was also invited to attend a PIF house opening, the Balgowlah Haven Project.

The home is in North Balgowlah, which is a charming suburb and the house is owned by the Land and Housing Corporation (LAHC). The building had been vacant and run down for several years, the opportunity to put it to good use was advantageous to PIF and LAHC. The Burdekin Association partnered with PIF and SMLXL to develop the property for charitable use. Our commendations to the suppliers and trades who donated products and time to complete the development.

This house will be occupied by a single occupant, currently 9 months pregnant. The future occupant, from the local area has been vulnerable and in need of assistance to gain accommodation. Committed to an 18-month lease and contributing a significantly reduced rent through subsidies from the aiding associations.

After the significant efforts by Team BSE, the North Balgowlah opening was a great opportunity to see the product of the time, energy, kms and funds, knowing that this new mother will have a safe space for her and her child to live. No person should be denied that right.

Thank you PIF, for the wonderful work you do. And thanks to Team BSE for your efforts in raising over $1000!
