Rehoming with Purpose: Partnering with Avenue Parramatta

At Scope Projects, we're always looking for meaningful ways to give back to the community—whether through long-term partnerships or jumping in when an opportunity arises to make a real difference.

Recently, our Project Director Diego Britos shared one such opportunity close to his heart. Diego recently discovered that Avenue Parramatta—a disability service supporting individuals like his son, Sebastian, - was in urgent need of furniture for their organisation - a coworking space offering a range of meaningful vocational, skill development and social opportunities where people with disabilities can come together to work and collaborate in a variety of microbusinesses. Much of what they had was at the end of its life or no longer fit for purpose.

As luck would have it, one of our upcoming projects at 10 Bond Street involved the removal of a full office suite of furniture—most of it still in great condition. Rather than see it go to waste, Diego acted quickly: he surveyed the furniture, coordinated with the General Manager at Avenue to identify what they needed and secured approval from Investa and the Owners to rehome the items.

What followed was a true team effort. Diego put the call out to the Scope crew and was immediately met with a show of hands to help out. Early on a Saturday morning, the group of volunteers met on site, loaded up a truck and made the trip out to Parramatta. There, they delivered, wiped down and swapped out furniture, leaving Avenue with a refreshed, functional space. The team also disposed of the old items, which were no longer fit for purpose.

A huge thanks to the Scope Team who showed up volunteering their time and energy. A special shout-out to Andrei for coordinating the truck and managing the removal of the old furniture. And of course, to Peter, who shouted the Team Breakfast and coffees, because no community effort is complete without caffeine.

This initiative didn’t just support a fantastic local organisation, it also kept quality furniture out of landfill, showing how small actions, when coordinated with care, can have a lasting impact.
