The Sanctuary
In November 2015, Castle Towers partnered with Women’s Community Shelters (WCS) to support the inception of an ambitious new crisis accommodation project, ‘The Sanctuary’ women’s refuge in Castle Hill.
With the donation of a three-year lease (renewed for a further three years in 2018), for a QIC-owned site in Castle Hill, including use of a six-bedroom property on the land, Castle Towers provided WCS the start required to progress plans for emergency accommodation for women and children in Sydney’s north-west suburbs.
Castle Towers also provided WCS with a building contractor and project consultant services through the Centre’s contractor, Construction Control, to assist with the full renovation of the property at no charge.
The purpose-built facility provides wheelchair access, access to case workers and specialised child support workers, and a state-of-the-art CCTV system and duress alarm, as well as 24/7 on-site support.

Mitchell Youth Forum
The Mitchell Youth Leadership Forum was established by the Hon. Alan Cadman OAM in 2002 as a visionary new initiative for youth in the Mitchell electorate. The Mitchell Youth Leadership Forum is a 2-and-a-half-day live-in program for year 11 students, strongly based around the three core values of service to others, integrity and courage.
The forum is a chance for Year 11 students to come together and share thoughts and ideas on how to be great, inspirational leaders in their schools and in our community. Each year every high school in the Mitchell electorate both public and private sends students to the forum, and each year they come away having had a very special experience with each other and with leadership, which produces a better-quality person.
Castle Towers is a proud supporter of the forum as a major event sponsor.
