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.
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.
Queensland Regional Achievement and Community Awards
 Golding is proud of its long-standing tradition of support for the development of young people in regional and rural Queensland. That is why we are delighted to sponsor the youth leadership category of the Regional Achievement and Community Awards. The Awards recognise the outstanding contributions that many businesses, community groups and individuals make to improve the quality of life in rural and regional Queensland.
Golding congratulates the 2009 winner of the Golding Contractors Youth Leadership Award – Lauren Thorne.
25-year-old Lauren is a dedicated and passionate young woman whose heart has always been in music and the arts, despite what life has thrown at her. Living with hardship at high school made Lauren decide to bring music and the arts to those who might otherwise never experience them.
Lauren began giving personal tuition and at 15 left home, where there was instability, to fully support herself through school and eventually university. More challenges were to come, when a rare tumour took away Lauren's ability to walk and care for herself. Now recovered, Lauren's passion for music led her to create Concenti, a company that travels to regional areas, giving children the chance to become involved in music. Concenti has grown to more than 5 staff and 50 students. Lauren's business reaches into Pittsworth, Millmerran and Goondiwindi by providing tutoring, workshops, tours, choirs, concerts, gala nights and fundraising for young people.
