Giving Back

Jul 7, 2015 | Media Release

THE SMITH FAMILY
The Smith Family is a national children’s charity helping disadvantaged Australian children to get the most out of their education, so they can create better futures for themselves. Jacques is a Workplace Giving Supporter of The Smith Family with many of our staff contributing part of their weekly salaries to supporting young Australians in need.

STARLIGHT CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION
Staff members from Jacques again participated in the Bridge to Brisbane in 2015 and as a group were able to select which charity to donate the proceeds to. We selected Starlight Children’s Foundation as helping children is something we are passionate about. Several of our staff competed in the run and even more made donations with many family members and overseas relatives donating to our company page. The run was a fun way to raise money for a good cause and we were happy that we could help children battling serious illnesses.

THE MILLION PAWS WALK
We have many pet lovers here at the Jacques office and animal welfare is something that means a great deal to us. Jacques team members together with our furry four-legged friends took part in the RSPCA’s Million Paws Walk at Southbank. We raised much needed funds for all the good work the RSPCA does and we had a great time doing it
