Making a difference through sport

The Melchor team recently spent a rewarding day volunteering with Fair Game, a not-for-profit organisation that collects, restores and redistributes sporting equipment to communities across Australia, helping increase access to sport.  

During the day, the team helped clean and restore sporting footwear and equipment destined for communities in need. From running shoes and footy boots to a range of sporting gear, everyone rolled up their sleeves to ensure each item was refreshed, ready for use and given a second life. 

The hands-on experience highlighted how a few hours of volunteering can go a long way, helping remove barriers to participation in sport and supporting stronger, healthier communities. 

Jancey, one of the volunteers, said the day was a great opportunity to make a tangible difference in the community. 

“It was a great experience to get out of the office to do something so meaningful,” Jancey said. 

“I’m grateful to Fair Game for the opportunity, as just a few hours of our time can help make sport more accessible for communities that need it.” 

Supporting organisations like Fair Game is one of the many ways we demonstrate our commitment to the communities in which we live and work, helping create positive and lasting impact.
