Highgrove Bathrooms store owners have banded together to support local kids through the Smith Family’s Learning for Life education program.

James Sinclair, director of the leading Australian bathroom company, is a long time advocate of the Smith Family and has encouraged every Highgrove Bathrooms franchise to get on board.

“We have over 48 stores nationally sponsoring 117 Australian students through this fantastic program which gives kids the vital support to thrive at school,” he said.

“Whether it be through buying books and uniforms or making sure kids can go on excursions with the rest of their class, I’m passionate about education and the difference it can make to a child’s future.”

Highgrove Bathrooms are also distributing more than 3000 basketballs throughout Australian schools, via their metro and regional stores, which will encourage attendance and good behaviour at school.

Smith Family acting CEO, Judy Barraclough, is thrilled to have Highgrove Bathrooms’ support.

“We truly believe supporting a child’s education is the best way to help break the cycle of disadvantage,” she said.

“By giving disadvantaged children and young people the support and resources they need to achieve their full potential, our impact will have a lasting effect on those we help today, and for generations to come.

“And we couldn’t do it without the generous support of companies like Highgrove Bathrooms.”
