Helping others make a positive difference

July 1, 2020

 

We like to take care of our pack – but looking after others is also part of who we are!

EOFY is all about dollars and cents, but we wanted to approach things a little differently this year. We know that particularly at the moment, there are a lot of people struggling to make ends meet. So we’ve pledged a $1,000 donation to local Perth charity Youth Futures, who offer support services to young West Aussies in three core areas: Homelessness, Education, and Support & Wellbeing.

They even shared this inspiring story with us to show how we’re helping them make a difference!

“Your donation will help someone like 17-year-old Katherine, a single Mum who needed support with food whilst she was in-between Centrelink payments. With the support of our Youth Workers, Katherine was able to link in with additional support services and complete a Certificate in General Education with aspirations of becoming a Paramedic to support her children.”

Having worked alongside Youth Futures and learning a bit about how they make a positive difference in our community, we wanted to reach out and offer our support. We love when we get the chance to work with like-minded organisations and help contribute to the great work they do.
