Develops CSR Committee.
For the first time, BSH Home Appliances Australia has formed a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee to further the company’s commitment to charitable work. This will be done through the in-kind donation of home appliances and future fund-raising activities.
“Our work will focus on a chosen theme: helping “Disadvantaged Kids.” It is based on our belief that children are our future and we should support improving the health and wellbeing of the next generation.”
Last month, Very Special Kids ran their annual Piggy Bank Appeal, which was the first collaboration between BSH Home Appliances and Very Special Kids.
“We are pleased to announce that we raised $225 from the sales of the merchandise. Thank you to all those who participated, we hope you love your Pink Piggy Banks, pens and stress balls,” BSH said in a statement to AR.
Very Special Kids cares for children with life-threatening conditions by providing a children’s hospice and professional family support services. They help more than 900 families across Victoria with ongoing support from diagnosis all the way through to recovery or bereavement.
Very Special Kids Hospice is the only children’s hospice in Victoria and offer families access to planned and emergency respite, as well as end-of-life care. The hospice provides 24-hour specialist nursing care in a warm and welcoming environment.
In addition to the children’s hospice and main offices in Malvern, Very Special Kids is committed to providing family support across Victoria through offices in Brunswick, Ballarat, Benidgo, Hastings, Shepparton, Torquay, Traralgon and Warrnambool.
