At Format Kitchens, we like to be part of our community and demonstrate our commitment where we can. As such, we are proud to have participated in three of Wishlist’s initiatives.
- In 2012, the Ausmar Group built the Wishlist House raising much needed funds to grow a better local service for Coast families needing eye surgery.
- In 2015, Wishlist’s “The House the Coast Built” was constructed over a 16 week period with the help of over 60 local contractors donating their time, skills and resources. This project raised more than $300,000 for paediatric needs on the Sunshine Coast, including the Fabio The Frog project.
- The latest house launched in August 2019 and will help families and carers have access to local affordable family accommodation whilst their loved ones undergo treatment, surgery or emergency stays at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
In 2013, Format Kitchens was involved with the “The House for Life Project” which was an inspiring initiative between the Mater Foundation and Plantation Homes, whereby a Plantation home was built and auctioned, with all proceeds from the sale of the home then donated to the Mater Foundation to support Mater Little Miracles.
More recently, in 2019, Format Kitchens was involved in helping the McLachlan Homes team in the construction of a house built for Finn Smith, the bright little boy who is the ambassador for the Royal Children’s Hospital and whose courageous story has been well publicised via media outlets.
It is a humbling and pleasing privilege to be involved in projects like this.
Other initiatives we are passionate about include “Special Children’s Christmas Parties”; Cystic Fibrosis Australia and “The Common Good” – an organization powering medical discoveries and of course – the Kawana Football Club!
