Megantic Matters

In October 2021, we raised money for The Black Dog Institute by participating in One Foot Forward, a running challenge for mental health. 19 members of our staff ran a total of 1,013km. They raised $5,917 and Megantic matched this dollar to dollar, for a total of $11,834 to be donated.

We stress regular virtual check-ins between managers and employees, and we participate in R U OK Day annually. In 2021, we led a team presentation and discussion on mental health and seeking help.

Another volunteering initiative we participate in is donating blood and plasma at the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. In the past few months, we have saved 48 lives. This activity has brought us together as a team, after all, saving lives is always a good reason to volunteer.

In November 2023, we participated in the Movember fundraiser. Many of our team grew a moustache and raised money to support men's mental health. We successfully raised a total of $1090 with the company matching this dollar-for-dollar, doubling the overall contribution to this cause to $2180. By openly discussing and supporting initiatives like Movember, we aim to contribute to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

We do this to show our community and our team that we value and support them. We are open to future fundraising opportunities and hope to have many more in the upcoming years.
