Civmec CEO Pat Tallon, along with colleagues Kristelle Conti and Daniel Kennedy, recently took part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout 2022, setting an ambitious target to beat last year’s amount (almost $60,000) and raise $100,000 for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Thanks to the generous support of so many during our fundraising campaign, we were delighted to exceed this target, raising more than $109,000 in total. This made us the top fundraising team in Western Australia and the fifth top fundraising team in the country. All money raised goes to Vinnies so they can help to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness in our community. Thank you to everyone who supported this amazing cause this year!

Every year, Civmec gets behind Clean Up Australia for their annual ‘Step Up to Clean Up’ business clean up event. It’s a day where we can work together as a team and make a difference to our local environment. This March, our team of volunteers donned their gloves, doing a great job of cleaning up around our Henderson site and surrounding roadways.

Employees at Civmec’s offices Australia-wide take part in the annual Jeans for Genes day, wearing their jeans to work and donating to the Children’s Medical Research Institute. The money raised is used to help find treatments and cures for children’s genetic diseases.

Whenever Civmec holds donation drives for Foodbank, our employees step up to the plate, generously donating food and other non-perishable supplies to help those that are less fortunate. Our most recent Foodbank donation drives at Henderson include the ‘Donation Drive-Thru’ event and a donation drive to gather food and other items in the lead up to Christmas. As Australia’s largest food relief organisation, Foodbank uses these donations to create care hampers for West Australians experiencing homelessness.

Civmec has been collecting used containers to raise money for St. Patrick’s Community Support Centre through Containers for Change. St Patrick’s works to help those who are homeless, or at risk of being homeless, in Fremantle and the wider south west metropolitan region of Perth. Their goal is to serve the community through providing holistic, supportive and quality care to those most in need through services, such as emergency relief, housing, meals, welfare, education, recreation and health.

Giving back to the local community is important to Civmec, so we’re proud to support the Bunbury Barbarians Rugby Union Club. We were especially delighted to hear that our most recent sponsorship enabled the club to buy special one-off pink jerseys for a charity match, prior to them being sold at a silent auction and raising more than $3,000 for charity.
