Marshall White’s association with You Matter began as a simple fundraising relationship but has evolved into so much more.

On this episode of Secrets of the Top 100 Agents, host Juliet Helmke speaks with Deborah de Rossi, CEO of You Matter, and Nicholas Brooks, director and auctioneer at Marshall White Stonnington, to hear about how the Melbourne network has grown its involvement with the organisation that plays a key role in housing women and families fleeing violence.

Deborah explains how You Matter’s work – furnishing homes for vulnerable women and families – plays an integral role in maintaining housing security for these Australians. She shares how Marshall White’s role now goes beyond fundraising, including sourcing furnishings that are set to be discarded from the homes they are involved with.

Nicholas describes the meaningful experience he had representing the real estate industry as one of You Matter’s “Top 8” – eight men from across the community who have pledged to stand up against domestic violence – and speaks about what the network’s charitable efforts mean to its staff.
