Supporting Live Well, Build Well for Tradee's

Programme Manager Rafael Caso says they’ve teamed up with Unit2go on an initiative which will provide the organisation with some much-needed funding.

“We’re thrilled to have the support of Unit2go who have worked with a whole bunch of amazing suppliers to create a fantastic unit which will be auctioned off at a $1 reserve on Trademe,” said Caso.

Caso says tradies are often at risk of suffering from mental health issues.

“Tradies typically work really hard in an industry which has ups and downs so they can be dealing with a lot of uncertainty,” said Caso.

Unit2go Owner Mark Ross says his organisation was only too happy to support the important work of Live Well Build Well. “The reaction we got when we reached out to our suppliers about this project has been fantastic. I think everyone in our community knows a tradie who’s gone through a tough time mentally, so everyone has been incredibly keen to support this initiative,” said Ross.

The tiny home is a brand new, fully furnished 55-square-metre transportable unit comprising two bedrooms, an office, a bathroom, as well as a kitchen and lounge. It has a total retail value of more than $200,000.

The home will be on display at Fieldays from June 12-15. The auction link is available here and closes on Sunday June 16th. Note, the auction is currently listed under property but will be moved to $1 reserve on June 6th.
