Works are underway on the refurbishment of the community rooms at The Girls & Boys Brigade – a centre catering to youth and families experiencing financial, social, educational and housing challenges.
The Taylor team is leading the renovation project – a commissioned extension of the pro bono work undertaken in 2020 to improve the Girls & Boys Brigade’s staff offices. Jason Tulich, Project Manager, is at the helm of this important work.

“
The goal is to improve the facility for the children and staff, upgrading the amenities, kitchen, sports court, and accessibility; making the space more useful to the community. All levels will now be wheelchair accessible, with an accessible bathroom installed on the lower ground floor.”
Over the past 110 years, The Girls & Boys Brigade building has remained relatively untouched. The renovations will make a big difference to the space and the programs on offer, providing children and youth who use the space with a safe hub to learn, play and relax in.
In part, this project relies on pro-bono support and the collective efforts of construction and building partners. “The work renovating the ground floor of the building is a great example of how the support of partners can multiply the effectiveness of money provided to the Girls & Boys Brigade,” says Jason. “Partners such as Glad Group, Tycen, Dulux, Milliken, Armstrong Flooring and Brooklands Engineering have all donated building works in some capacity to extend the effectiveness of the money spent improving the facility.”
“Working with The Girls & Boys Brigade, as well as the Property Industry Foundation is an absolute pleasure. Collectively we are working as an efficient team, solving challenges as they arise and pushing the project closer to completion together.”
Team Taylor is proud to be supporting The Girls & Boys Brigade, with the refurb set for completion in February 2023. The organisation receives no government funding and relies on in-kind support from countless subcontractors and suppliers to make these projects a reality.
