Halikos Group volunteers roll up their sleeves for Frontier Services
In Darwin at the end of July 2012 more than 50 volunteers from the Halikos Group and the whole soccer team from the Darwin Olympic Sporting Club, rolled up their sleeves and blitzed the Frontier Services Respite Options for Senior Territorians (ROST) centre.
In just a couple of hours the volunteers painted the inside of the building and an outdoor gazebo, put plants in the garden, tidied the garden shed and completed many other tasks.
Frontier Services is one of the charities which The Halikos Group has chosen to support in 2012 by raising funds and by giving their time to physically lend a hand. Read the full story on Frontier Services website
