Children visiting the Act for Kids centre in Broadmeadows have a new play space to explore while taking part in therapy sessions.
Lendlease and the Property Industry Foundation recently completed a $300,000 refurbishment of the Act For Kids Riggall Street centre.
The charity, which works to treat and prevent child abuse and neglect and provides therapy to children who have experienced or are at risk of child abuse, opened its first Victorian centre in Broadmeadows last October.
There are already 70 children on the centre’s waiting list.
The refurbishment included a makeover of the centre’s interior and exterior, as well as the installation of the Lily’s Garden play space.
Lendlease executive general manager Joe Kokai said the company and the Property Industry Foundation were proud to support the charity.
“Together with our amazing team of consultants, subcontractors and suppliers, we are delighted to be able to give something back to the Broadmeadows facility,” he said.
