Generous offer for Parenting Place

Before Christmas, a new house in Millwater was put on the market to raise money for the charitable organisation Parenting Place.

The property was still unsold as this paper went to print.

Nineteen local businesses, led by Sentinel Homes, teamed up to build the home, providing their labour and services free or at a heavily discounted rate.

It is hoped that profits raised from the sale will enable Parenting Place to provide more than 500 families with a six-week toolbox parenting course, free of charge. The course is designed to help parents by providing new ideas and tools to reinvigorate their parenting.

The house, at 70 Ormonde Drive, Millwater, is on the market with Barfoot & Thompson, which has donated its fees.
