Golding Community Involvement

Golding  within the community














Community Involvement

Golding recognises we are part of the communities in which we work and live. We take pleasure in sharing our success by supporting these communities as well as national fund raising initiatives.

Golding and Salvation Army Employment Plus

Golding and The Salvation Army Employment Plus work together on projects
that create training and employment opportunities in Queensland
communities.

This partnership has been recognised by The Salvation Army Employment Plus
in their "Thanks Half a Million!" campaign, a celebration of the work with
jobseekers and businesses that contributed to placing 500,000 people in
work.

The Salvation Army Employment Plus spokesperson Kirrilee Trist says, "We
have been delighted to work with Golding on so many fruitful projects in
Queensland.

"We especially value their generosity and community-minded, zero-harm
approach."

Mt Perry Truck Pull

Golding is a proud sponsor of the annual Dump Truck Pull held at Mt Perry. It raises funds for the Youth Focus charity organisation which assists with suicide prevention for at-risk youths. Golding donates use of the 90 tonne dump truck and organises the event which benefits not only the youth in Mt Perry, Gin Gin and Bundaberg but is helping these communities to become suicide safer.

Relay for Life
Golding is a regular participant in this charity walk and run for the Queensland Cancer Fund.

Shave for a Cure

Golding employees often go bald and colourful for this well-known fundraiser for the Leukaemia Foundation.
