A NORTHERN suburbs women’s refuge has received a playground and two bench seats following a sales office closure in Clarkson.
When the Catalina Central sales office closed so another could open in Catalina Beach, Mindarie, Tamala Park Regional Council donated a toddler playground and two park bench seats to the Patricia Giles Centre.
Landscaping company LD Total donated time and effort to re-install the play equipment at the refuge, which provides safe crisis accommodation and counselling for women and children affected by domestic violence.

“They were laughing uncontrollably and having fun in the sand.”
