A historic complex in the suburb of Riverstone has just been listed with $1.5 million hopes.  
Originally built in 1985, <a id="LPlnk313152" href="https://www.starrpartners.com.au/property-Commercial-NSW-Riverstone-20247803" target="_blank" data-auth="NotApplicable">16 Wealtheasy Street, Riverstone</a> is home to the Saint Mary of Cherso (SMOC) Association – a not-for-profit association and function centre.
SMOC was established in the 50’s to cater for the waves of European immigrants arriving in Australia, especially in Blacktown. 
As a cultural club and community icon, it was the decision of the SMOC Association to donate 100 per cent of the sale of the premises to charity, including The Cancer Council, The Sydney Children’s Hospital, the Heart Foundation and St Vincent de Paul society, among other beneficiaries.

A spokesperson for the community said, “with many of the original members having passed away, or now in their twilight years, it was the decision of the SMOC community that no member will personally benefit financially from the club. 
As a result, the decision was made to sell the premises, with 100 per cent of the proceeds to be donated to worthwhile charities, to further benefit the community.”

Starr Partners sales agent, John Kelly said, “as a fully licensed venue with two functioning commercial kitchens, a servery bar, a stage with a PA system, and a ‘Hall of fame’ board, it is the hope of the committee members that the club premises will remain a community centre in some form."
“Situated in the nascent Blacktown City region, wherein billions have been spent on master-planned developments and infrastructure projects, such as the nearby Marsden Park Business Hub, there’s great potential for future development of this land,” Kelly concluded.

Historic Riverstone complex listed, with 100% of proceeds donated to charity

Global mens health charity Movember Foundation has called on CCWS Interiors to fit out the London HQ for the second time.
The HQ, in the creative district of Farringdon, is set among art galleries and a thriving entertaining precinct with bars and restaurants.
 The 555 sqm space is the hub for the Movember workforce to collaborate, initiate and implement its objective to bring men's health to the forefront of public conversation.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/11/27/Mov1.jpg" alt="">
CCWS Interiors' David Keane and Amy Elliott headed up the project.
They were tasked with transforming the open-plan office into an inspirational environment that reflected the ethos and brand identity of the organisation.
The brief was to upgrade the office design and create an environment that better matched the people, brand and culture behind Movember.

Providing a base for both local and visiting international teams, the newly-configured office needed to easily ‘expand-and-contract’ as required during busy campaign periods. 
Over a six-week period, CCWS delivered flexible workspaces, hot desks and hot-booth-meeting areas to encourage collaboration and introduce both formal and flexible productivity areas. 
The traditional concept of ‘one desk, one employee’ was thrown out in favour of this interactive co-working model, whilst also catering to introspective work styles with semi-enclosed booths.

When looking to the interior aesthetics, the refit was characterised by industrial design elements, seen in the use of rustic wood cladding and exposed metal fixtures, alongside playful detailing throughout and the company’s signature ‘moustache’ symbol displayed with pride.
When adding the final touches to the Movember office design, David and Amy collaborated with the Movember team to introduce some famous moustache owners to the office décor; fancy a catch up in the Chaplin, Mercury or Einstein room?

Movember Foundation gets new London HQ office fitout

Property professionals have joined the Property Industry Foundation (PIF) for the 6th annual Melbourne Corporate Charity Cycle Day, raising in excess of $100,000 to support at-risk and homeless young people.
The Charity Cycling Day, held in partnership with Event Sponsor Secure Parking and Principle Sponsor TM Insight, began from Cape Schanck along the Mornington Peninsula.
More than 180 riders from the property industry rode two cycling courses – 55km or 80km.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/11/21/Ride.jpg" alt="">
Peter Inge, Victorian chairman of the Property Industry Foundation, said "we are doing our part to help rebuild young lives with much-needed funds,” says 
“Our members’ determination to raise awareness for these young people and help to give them a way out of their situation and into a new future is truly motivating.”

“Funds raised from the ride are distributed to beneficiary charities, Chatterbox Bus an outreach service, and PIF Housing Program with industry members of PIF constructing these homes,” Inge said.
The 2016 census data reveals homelessness has jumped 14% over the last five years, with 42,000 young people now sleeping rough every night across Australia. 
Tour de France rider Koen de Kort, who is passionate about tackling the issues of youth homelessness, is the PIF Event Ambassador and led the Charity Cycling Day. 
He was joined by fellow professional cyclists Nathan Elliot and Mark O’Brien.  
Matthew Keenan and Sophie Smith, cycling commentators and journalists, also joined the Tour de PIF. 
PIF partners with its charity beneficiaries and the property industry to build homes to reduce youth homelessness. Over the last 6 years they have invested $12.6 million into vital programs, helping their Charity Partners to rebuild young lives.
