Dear valued local businesspeople,

As many of you would know, each year the team at Astute Buyers Advocates hold a Christmas Charity Gala. At this event, we auction off donated items from local businesses - with all proceeds donated to charity. We also offer donations as raffles and door prizes.

We pride ourselves on bringing together the local community in order to assist those less fortunate. This year, we'll be supporting the following local charities:
RSPCA
Beyond Blue
Cancer Council
As real estate & auctioneering experts, we are able to create a competitive & charitable atmosphere when auctioning off items - ensuring each charity will receive significant donations.

Therefore, we're calling on YOU to assist us - by donating a prize pack, voucher, appraisal, or anything else you can. Your business will be advertised to 70+ guests throughout the night, along with thousands of social media followers. Your business' generosity will be featured in our newsletter (hard copy and online).

Naturally, if your business requires donations from the local community in the future, we will be more than happy to assist - providing free property appraisals, rental assessments, hampers and auctioneering assistance* at your event

*subject to availability, location, time/date, etc.

If your business would be interested in donating to our charity event, please inform us via email:

Jonathan Wenig was concerned about a career for his daughter, who has autism, and so he started All Things Equal cafe. Half of its staff have special needs.

A good read, what's your favourite indoor plant?

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but it seems a lush monstera or fabulous fiddle leaf fig could do just as well to have you feeling happy and healthy in your home.
