Kladis Building Solutions in the Community

Kladis Building Solutions are committed to creating a positive impact in the society. Through support and sponsorship of chosen charities we are contributing to a better world. Some of our chosen charities include

ESTIA Foundation of Australia    

ESTIA'S MISSION STATEMENT:

To improve the opportunities for people with disabilities; to meaningfully integrate and participate in the life of the community and to provide the assistance and support that such people, their families and carers, may individually require to achieve this outcome.

ESTIA Foundation is an initiative of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.

This foundation was set up to provide 24 hour care for young adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. This service is open to all people residing in Sydney with respite houses available at Roselands and Gladesville.

ESTIA operates a weekend daycare program providing outings and activities that include music, dancing, art and craft, attending sporting activities and shopping. Recently ESTIA achieved another milestone by providing permanent accommodation for those in need.

To be able to keep providing these important services with continuous improvement ESTIA needs help. At present this wonderful foundation is funded by the State Government of NSW and also relies heavily on fundraising and donation. Kladis Building Solutions is a proud sponsor of ESTIA.

Mick Young Scholarship Trust      

Kladis Building Solutions is a proud sponsor of the Mick Young Scholarship Trust. MYST was established in 1997 and ten years on it continues to flourish. This is a wonderful initiative which annually awards scholarships to students studying at TAFE, universities and colleges across Australia. This is the only fund in Australia to give awards depending on financial need rather than academic achievements.

The Mick Young Scholarship Trust was set up in memory of the late Mick Young, a former Member of Parliament and Federal Cabinet Minister, who sought to enhance opportunities for financially disadvantaged people. He came from a battler’s background and knew that for some just a few hundred dollars can make the following of their dream possible.

Mick Young had an abiding belief:  “Education is a right, not a privilege.”  He knew that it was vital “to break the cycle of unemployment and disadvantage that can restrict a person’s potential”.  “Break that cycle”, Mick would say, “and an individual’s place in the community will almost certainly be transformed.”

In the first year, MYST distributed $11,000 to 3 colleges and this year is planning to expand to 30 colleges and distribute $200,000 in scholarships across Australia.  MYST encompasses areas as diverse as the Pilbera and Kimberley regions, Batchelor and Alice Springs, Rockhampton and Mt Isa as well as many other rural centres and, of course, all the capitals.

If you are interested in making a difference and donating to this worthy initiative you can contact MYST Event Manager Janine Young on 0422 371 706.
