Charter Hall shopping centres partner with<br />

Two Good to provide 20,000 meals to women in need<br />

LEADING property group Charter Hall has partnered with social<br />

enterprise Two Good to provide 20,000 meals to domestic violence<br />

survivors throughout Australia.<br />

From <strong>June</strong> 27 to July<br />

14, Charter Hall, in partnership<br />

with the communities<br />

in which they<br />

operate, is “Delivering<br />

Good” across 26 of<br />

its shopping centres<br />

and raising awareness<br />

about family and<br />

domestic violence.<br />

As part of this campaign,<br />

Charter Hall will<br />

provide meals to women<br />

and children in refuges<br />

nationwide.<br />

Giant jigsaw puzzle<br />

frames will be set up<br />

in participating centres<br />

including West Ryde<br />

Marketplace with shoppers<br />

encouraged to<br />

play their part by adding<br />

their piece to the<br />

puzzle.<br />

<strong>The</strong> puzzle-building<br />

process symbolises<br />

domestic violence survivors<br />

rebuilding their<br />

lives and the role the<br />

community can play.<br />

With every piece put<br />

into its place, a Two<br />

Good meal will be donated<br />

to a nearby shelter,<br />

up to 800 meals.<br />

Greg Chubb, Head of<br />

Retail for Charter Hall,<br />

says: “We are delighted<br />

and privileged to partner<br />

with Two Good to<br />

deliver this campaign.<br />

As an owner and manager<br />

of conveniencebased<br />

shopping centres<br />

Australia-wide, we<br />

take our responsibility<br />

of giving back seriously.<br />

“One in four women in<br />

Australia experience<br />

domestic violence at<br />

some point, and many<br />

of them end up in refuges<br />

whilst they<br />

work through this very<br />

challenging time in their<br />

lives. Two Good is doing<br />

extraordinary work<br />

in supporting these<br />

shelters and the women<br />

in them, and Charter<br />

Hall is honoured to be<br />

able to support<br />

Two Good to reach<br />

into regional Australia.<br />

We are also grateful<br />

that both Neil Perry and<br />

Maggie Beer are supporting<br />

us in delivering<br />

this important donation,”<br />

he added.<br />

A puzzle builder will<br />

start the build at West<br />

Ryde Marketplace and<br />

encourage shoppers to<br />

participate.<br />

As the pieces of the<br />

puzzle come together<br />

they will reveal images<br />

of the Two Good community<br />

including founder<br />

Rob Caslick, Delivering<br />

Good ambassadors<br />

Neil Perry and Maggie<br />

Beer and some<br />

of the beautiful women<br />

within the community<br />

who have experienced<br />

domestic violence.<br />

Shoppers who get<br />

involved in-centre and<br />

choose a ‘golden’ puzzle<br />

piece at random will<br />

also receive a Maggie<br />

Beer cookbook or a<br />

Rockpool dining experience<br />

valued at $600.<br />

Two Good founder<br />

Rob Caslick says: “We<br />

are thrilled to be partnering<br />

with Charter<br />

Hall Retail to raise the<br />

awareness of domestic<br />

violence in regional<br />

areas, and to take our<br />

message and work beyond<br />

Australia’s largest<br />

cities.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> 20,000 meals<br />

funded by the Delivering<br />

Good campaign<br />

will go directly to shelters<br />

and refuges close<br />

to those centres,” said<br />

Rob.<br />

“It is incredibly important<br />

for Charter Hall to<br />

support the<br />

local communities in<br />

which they operate and<br />

to connect with and<br />

provide a positive benefit<br />

for those communities.”<br />

Since Two Good began<br />

its work in late<br />

2016, the organisation<br />

has delivered more than<br />

40,000 meals to refuges<br />

and shelters and has<br />

established a kitchen in<br />

Sydney where domestic<br />

violence survivors<br />

can train for jobs in<br />

hospitality.<br />
