We know the power of community - our company has grown from a supportive network of many businesses and pool owners over the last 25 years. This is why we are committed "getting the balance right" to our activity as a company. From our environmental program (WaterEarth), engaging with industry associations (SPASA) to supporting a broad range of charities and community organisations - we want to be positive leaders in shaping the kind of world our kids grow up in.
Important! We do not collect money on our site nor do we earn anything from your giving! We've linked to these organisations or charities to help you be inspired and find some way to participate too. This is not a definitive list so if you have any other organisations please let us know. Lets give more while we swim more.
If you want to help financially below are some of organisations and groups who are actively supporting people affected by floods.
Any funds received from your donations helps provide volunteers with the essential equipment and resources they need to assist flood victims now — and others in the future. The links above are for the Queensland sectors, but you can also donate to NSW SES and RFS workers.
The Australian Red Cross currently has volunteers working in 19 evacuation centres across south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales as part of its flood appeal. “Funds raised from the floods appeal will help Red Cross to provide immediate and longer-term humanitarian support to people across flood-devastated communities.”
St Vincent de Paul’s Society has launched a flood appeal that helps link up those affected by the floods with clothes, food and financial assistance to help them pay bills and sort their living situations out.
GIVIT is a platform that matches up people’s specific needs with what you can give away. Maybe you’ve got a spare fridge that’s been in the garage for weeks and someone could use it right now. Or maybe you’ve got a bag of clothes that don’t fit you anymore and a family is in need of dry clothes. Basically, you can meet someone’s specific need by donating an item they’ve requested.
If you want to help in a more material sense, there are also a number of organisations and groups looking for volunteers.
Brisbane City Council is calling for volunteers to help clean up the city as it tries to recover from the on-going floods. If you’re in Brisbane and want to help, you can register here.
Crisis Heroes is a platform that links up people in need with people that can provide help. It was launched as an aid service during the pandemic but the creators are now urging people to use it for flood relief.
The RSPCA is overwhelmed with animals that were rescued from floods but can’t stay in evacuation centres. If you can foster a pet, email floods@rspcaqld.org.au with details on what type of accommodation you can offer.
Melanoma March events are being held around Australia, in every state and territory, during March. It’s a family-friendly, COVID-safe 4km walk and it’s about taking steps together to honour those we’ve lost, support those impacted by melanoma, and raise awareness and funds so we are one step closer to reaching the goal of zero deaths from melanoma.
