Giving Back to the Communities That Support Us

At Brentnalls Western Victoria, giving back isn’t something we do occasionally, it’s part of who we are.

We’re proud to work closely with individuals, families and businesses across our region, and we believe it’s important to support the communities that support us. Through our Workplace Giving initiative, our team has the opportunity to contribute to causes that are meaningful to them, often those connected to their own families, friends and local networks.

What makes this initiative special is that it’s driven by our people. The causes we support aren’t chosen at a distance — they reflect real experiences, real stories, and real connections within our team.

In our most recent round of contributions, we were proud to support a number of important organisations making a difference in very different ways.

We made a donation to the Motor Neurone Disease Association of Australia, helping provide care, support and advocacy for individuals and families navigating the challenges of MND.

We also supported the World’s Greatest Shave — a cause that was particularly close to home this year. Erin’s son, Xavier (pictured above) took part in the campaign and was truly “brave for the shave,” shaving his head to raise funds and awareness for those facing blood cancer. It’s a powerful reminder of how small acts of courage can make a meaningful impact.

Our team also chose to support the Shaka Project, an organisation focused on strengthening youth mental health through connection, conversation and community. With growing awareness around mental health, particularly for young people, this is an area many of us feel strongly about.

In addition, we contributed to the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, helping support the incredible work they do in delivering world-class care to children and their families.

While these contributions may seem small in isolation, together they reflect something much bigger - a shared commitment to looking beyond our day-to-day work and supporting the people and communities around us.

At Brentnalls Western Victoria, we believe strong communities are built through connection, care and contribution.

We’re proud to work alongside a team that not only cares about what they do, but also about the impact they can have.
