Workplace Giving

What is Workplace Giving?

The process of making regular automatic donations to Childhood Cancer Support through your payroll system pre-tax.  It allows your organisation to engage employees through supporting the local community and helping to make a big difference to the lives of families of children impacted by cancer. Workplace Giving is one of the most cost effective ways to donate and is also a highly visible way of showing your organisation’s support for Childhood Cancer Support.

It responds to one of the most significant challenges faced by Childhood Cancer Support – finding stable and low cost sources of funding to support our services. It creates true corporate citizenship and fosters a partnership between businesses and their employees, aiding long-term staff retention.

Why support?

Childhood Cancer Support seeks to remove the emotional and financial stress of living away from home. The main focus is to provide stability to the lives of children and their families through the provision of not only accommodation but also transport, mental health support and counselling and social activities for the whole family.  Most families are flown in from various regional locations therefore are in a totally new environment without a home, any mode of transport and no family support network. We provide holistic support to all families impacted by childhood cancer.
