There are many different ways you can get involved,    as an individual, as part of a group or a community-minded business. 

And the options for raising funds, really are endless!

Community Fundraising

When people come together, incredible things can be achieved. Are you part of a local group that’s ready to make a real difference?

Maybe you’re a scout leader, cycle with friends on weekends, run your suburb’s residents’ association, belong to the Lions or Rotary clubs, volunteer on your school P&C, or meet regularly with a neighbourhood walking group. If your group is passionate about giving back, this is your chance to create a lasting impact in your community.

Not sure where to start? You could fire up the BBQ for a sausage sizzle, whip up treats for a cake stall, bring colour and energy with a fun run, stage a concert, or host a community yoga class. Other great ideas include trivia nights, movie screenings, charity auctions, car washes, garage sales, or even a themed dinner night. Whatever your group’s style, there’s a fundraising idea to match—and every effort helps build a stronger, safer neighbourhood.

Corporate Sponsorship

If your company is committed to making a real difference in the community, we’d love you to come on board as a corporate partner. By having your branding featured on our AED cabinets, you won’t just raise your business profile—you’ll be seen as a champion for local lives, showing everyone nearby that you stand behind their safety and wellbeing.

In 2024 we partnered with Capital Chemist in the ACT, and together we’re installing AEDs outside 22 of their pharmacies across Canberra. These life-saving devices are already becoming a familiar sight in local shopping centres—powerful reminders of the business that make them possible.
