THE FIRST NATIONAL FOUNDATION – NATIONAL BURN CENTRE
A philanthropic arm of First National Real Estate – was founded to focus fundraising efforts to strengthen local and national charitable initiatives.

Every year First National members raise thousands of dollars to help their local communities in times of need – money for schools, community building and healthcare, local sporting organisations – the list goes on.

On a National level, First National Foundation partners with National Burn Centre to provide iPads and internet connectivity. This will provide patients with the ability to connect directly with their families through Skype, email and social media.

Many burn victims are separated from their families, usually for 3 months but sometimes up to 6 months initially. Often family members are left at home with little connection with family which does not assist in their long term healing process.

The iPads will also greatly assist young children with severe burns to view videos during their dressing changes, which can be painful and can take up to three hours at a time. By having the connections and support of family and friends back home, these patients will be able to rest and recuperate mentally as well as physically while at the National Burn Centre.

Every new property owner who buys through our company will receive a quality Home Safety Kit which includes a fire blanket, a fire extinguisher and a smoke alarm.

We also provide sponsorship for the following events…
