Nobody goes harder, tries more or generates energy like James Carter and his outstanding team at Carter + Co Agents.
Their recent bowls day at the Canberra Labor Club Group, Weston Creek, raised more than $40,000 for their named fund with Hands Across Canberra, as everyone had one hell of a good time on the greens.
Those funds form a critical part of our annual grants program, supporting thousands of Canberra locals, from those struggling with homelessness to the hungry, people hurting from violence or living with disability. They're our neighbours, our friends and they need our help.
But that’s not all, by a long shot. We call James our energiser bunny – he's in the middle of a literal marathon of marathons and 25 fitness events this year to raise funds and awareness for people who need a hand.
James, you are extraordinary – thank you to the whole Carter + Co Agents family. We couldn’t be happier to work with you on building a better and fairer Canberra for everyone. … See MoreSee Less
