EG CARE

Giving is in our DNA

Care is a dearly held value at EG. We care about the life-stories that make each of us who we are. We care about sharing the journey and making each day as fun and enjoyable as possible. We forge relationships that last - supporting our team and charity partners with the long-term in mind.

EG Health

All of us have regular health checks to ensure that we have every chance of living a long, healthy and productive life. We all want to be in the best possible shape to face the daily challenges being part of an ambitious team provides.

Most of us are fitness fanatics and many participate in various informal sport and training activities. Healthy eating and regular exercise is encouraged and often sponsored by EG.

EG Charity

Our team welcomes opportunities to support those in need

We build deep connections with charities aligned to our philosophy of giving people a hand up in life by intervening as early as possible. Many of us have travelled overseas to experience these charities’ work first-hand. Such trips are a powerful reminder of the privileged lives we enjoy and the impact of giving to empower others.

Helmsman Project

The Helmsman Project partners with schools in communities affected by disadvantage. Helmsman programs rely on volunteer coaches who work with teenagers to develop an awareness of opportunities available to them in the future, creating a sense of hope and increased resilience. Experiential learning programs enable students to better understand and learn the attributes that will help them navigate through life’s challenges to achieve their full potential.

St Martin de Porres

Our team in Manila works closely with a local childcare facility, St Martin de Porres, to support underprivileged families.
 
St Martin de Porres has the backing of local business to support parents to give their child the best future possible in terms of health care and education. The facility also operates as a childcare and health facility.  EG contributes financially to upgrade St Martin de Porres and the whole team contributes by donating time, money, clothing and toys.

Adam Kellerman

Adam is a world champion wheelchair tennis player and paraolympian ranked #1 in Australia and #11 in the world. Adam was diagnosed with a form of cancer called Ewings Sarcoma at just thirteen. During treatment for his cancer, he developed an infection that caused the removal of his right hip - limiting the use of his right leg. Now, Adam not only leads Australia in wheelchair tennis, he visits the EG team from time to time and thrashes us at table tennis too!
