Tradies for Tabbies is a fantastic initiative from Master Builders Tasmania who have decided to very generously to encourage their members to volunteer.
“It’s so incredible to have companies who put their resources on the line for a project like this, and it’s something that I’ve enjoyed over the years – bring people together and doing some amazing community projects.” Ten Lives Ambassador, Dave Noonan, said. “Hopefully Tradies for Tabbies is something that goes on for years, because there will be a never-ending list of things that need to be done here at Ten Lives!”
“This is about the construction industry giving back to the community and supporting the great work that the Ten Lives Cat Centre does.” Matthew Pollock CEO of Master Builders Tasmania said. “We hope to encourage more Master Builders members and other participants in the construction industry to come and help out and support this great work.”
Lyden Builders we’re the first to put their hand up to join the community project.
“Dave rings up and we respond – he’s very good at organising these sort of things!” Andrew Lyden, Director of Lyden Builders said, “It’s always important to try to find a bit of time to put aside for the betterment of the community. It’s very important for us.”
Howrah Plumbing are another local company who have gotten on board early.
“This is a unique situation where you have got to fix one part of the building to get to the next part of the building.” Cath McDowell of Howrah Plumbing said, “I thought it was a good project to be involved in and a good way to give back to the community.”
Ten Lives is amazed at the response to and support of the project still in its early stages.
“We’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity of the people who have stepped up to support the vital work that we have to do.” said Ten Lives Manager, Noel Hunt. “Master Builders Tasmania, Lyden Builders, Howrah Plumbing and Parr’s Heat Pump Centre, it’s really excellent that people have come on board to support us.”
Adding, “As little as one hour to help put a shelf up to something more substantial, every little bit helps. This project is just fantastic and is making a big difference for Ten Lives the work that we do with cats, but also the work we do with the environment and in the community.”
