The Collins Street Precinct is proudly associated with Melbourne Citymission (MCM) and in August 2009 we will continue to support their fundraising campaign “buy a brick”.  This is an exciting fundraising campaign to raise money for MCM’s visionary new Youth Precinct, in North Fitzroy.  The Youth Precinct will be a new accommodation, education and training facility for disadvantaged homelessness young people aged 16-25. 
Melbourne Citymission is a non-denominational organisation established in 1854 to support individuals, families and communities who are marginalised, at risk or experiencing disadvantage. Their programs and services provide pathways to social and economic participation and independence.  Programs include; http://www.melbournecitymission.org.au/Programs-and-Services/Homelessness/Homelessness-Homeless-SupportHomeless Support, Youth Services, Education Support, Children's Services, Disability Support, Employment Services, Acquired Brain Injury Support and more.

BUY A BRICK
In June 2008 MCM launched a Buy a Brick campaign to raise money for the development of the Youth Precinct.  Supporters simply donate $100 and ‘buy a brick’, donations over $500 are permanently recorded in the Youth Precinct Legacy Book and donations over $1000 are permanently recognised on the Youth Precinct Honour Board.
To raise money for the Youth Precinct we are running a special Buy a Brick campaign in collaboration with the Melbourne Citymission.  This special campaign will see your customers buying a brick to build a virtual wall.  Virtual walls are planned to be located at various sites on Collins Street to track fundraising, build interest and excitement amongst retailers and shoppers, and attract some PR.   The Buy a Brick campaign will be supported by an extensive communications strategy and leverage off Melbourne Citymission’s month long Homelessness Campaign in August 2009.
