Community
Together we can make a difference
Servcorp's community service focus is to support and assist continuing research into the prevention and cure of cancer and assisting young, seriously or terminally ill members of the community.
Servcorp holds charity functions and balls, runs raffles and undertakes local donation drives throughout the year across all locations.
Every dollar that is raised by our teams on the ground is matched dollar for dollar by Servcorp.
As of the end of Financial Year 2015, Servcorp had raised and donated in excess of $550,000 to help with many organisations around the world.
In Australia, Youngcare continues to be the main focus of our fundraising, and non-executive Director, Taine Moufarrige, continues to be heavily involved with this organisation.
Simon Smith took on the Youngcare Simpson Desert Challenge and trekked 300km in 10 days through the Simpson Desert raising over $15,000.
Kayak for Kids
Every March since 2010 the 'Servcorpian' team take to the waters of Sydney Harbour and paddle their hearts out for Lifestart in the annual Kayak for Kids Competition. Servcorp locations around Australia support the cause with local fundraising efforts. In 2015 Servcorp raised over $30,000 for Lifestart and the goal is to increase the amount each year!
Against the inspiring backdrop of Sydney Harbour, from Blues Point to Balmoral Beach and back to Clifton Gardens the Servcorp crew paddle 18 kilometers in support of children with disabilities and developmental delays.
"I would also like to again thank you all for your wonderful efforts in supporting Lifestart. You are truly amazing people and making a real difference in the lives of children and young people living with disability and their families/carers. Thank you."
