Our extended family

As you may have gathered, the Rawson Family is extremely big - but you may not be aware of our extended family.

The Woodside Special Care Centre provides quality, integrated and comprehensive 24-hour care for profoundly intellectually disabled children and adults by educating and training them to their maximum potential.

Our chairman and founder, Bill Rawson, has served as a trustee on the Board of the Woodside Special Care Centre since 1995. The Rawson Property Group corporately – and Bill Rawson personally - continues to embrace and support this special Centre both financially and through practical personal involvement.

Woodside has in its care more than 90 intellectually disabled children and adults. These special individuals are dependent on the intensive personal care of around 60 nursing staff 24 hours a day. Several million Rands in funding are needed each year to ensure that these children are guaranteed the best care, support and love. Amongst other initiatives in support of the Centre, the Rawson Property Group runs an ongoing campaign wherein agents and franchises alike are afforded the opportunity of raising funds for Woodside on a monthly basis. The agent or franchise responsible for raising the most funds for a given month wins the entitlement to the exclusive use of a dedicated Rawson/Woodside-branded "Champion Fundraiser" Smart car for the duration of the following month.
