At Megantic, we believe it is important to focus on helping our environment and our community in as many ways as possible. We aim to participate in one initiative per quarter. Some of our highlights include our Mentoring program, participating in One Foot Forward in 2021 and participating in R U OK? Day annually.
Mentoring Programs
We have been mentoring high school students from The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and university students from Deakin University since 2021. Students learn about SEO, digital marketing and coding. More information can be found at Megantic Mentors.
One Foot Forward fundraiser for the Black Dog Institute
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.
R U OK? Day
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.
Australian Lifeblood
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.
Movember
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.
Why we do this
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.
