The Grainery Care Centre in Islington urgently needs new premises to continue helping clients recover from trauma, including substance abuse, domestic violence, homelessness and grief.
A building on Maitland Road has been leased by the welfare arm of the Grainery Christian Network for three years to host its op-shop, food bank, book exchange and creative recovery course for people who have experienced trauma.
The building's late owner, Don Ford, leased the expansive space to the charity for just $800 a month but wanted the building sold after his death, with the proceeds to go to the Mater Hospital.
It will be auctioned later this month.
