Community
Border Express originated from a large country town where being an active part of the community is a way of life. We’ve continued to be involved in many causes across Australia.
Community projects & partnerships
Our passion for community involvement and responsibility has now extended to the national network as we have grown. Community projects and partnerships are strategically selected each year to cover a spread of causes and locations. Key projects over recent years have included support to The Smith Family, Red Cross Blood Bank and many more.
The Smith Family
At Border Express, we are proud to be a long term supporter of The Smith Family. As Australia’s leading children’s education charity, The Smith Family support the education of around 56,000 children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds through their Learning for Life scholarship program – providing the extra tools and resources they need to thrive at school. For over ten years, we have proudly helped them deliver gifts to thousands of children in need across Australia, through their annual Toy and Book Appeal, to ensure they too can experience the joy of opening presents on Christmas morning.
The Wesley Mission
Border Express has a long standing tradition of bringing a little Christmas joy to underprivileged and disadvantaged kids. This is generally the only present the kids will receive all year, or sometimes the only present they have ever received. Over many years it has been fantastic to see the generosity, compassion and community spirit all over the country as we band together to make a difference for kids that really need it.
The Clontarf Foundation
This remarkable organisation is committed to transforming the lives of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys. Through its innovative and successful approach that taps into passions for activities such as sports, providing these young men with the necessary values and skills for meaningful employment and improved life outcomes. We are proud to support the Clontarf Foundation that continues to thrive in its mission of empowering Indigenous youth.
Movember
With BE SAFE being one of Border Express’s core values we love to support Movember across the country by creating teams in all our branches that will “grow a mo” or help to raise awareness and funds for testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. BE SAFE not only means we want our people to feel physically safe at work but also mentally safe.
The Royal Children’s Hospital
For many years we have supported the Good Friday Appeal for the Royal Children’s Hospital. We have supported the appeal by driving a truck full of toys over to the hospital, and collecting a gold coin donation each week for those involved in casual Friday. Each year we aim to beat our last contribution knowing what a difference it can make.
Convoy 4 Kids
From 2018 the NSW Border Express Team and their families gave up their time to participate in Convoy 4 Kids. A charity that raises much needed funds to purchase new equipment for NETS (Newborn & Paediatric Emergency Transport Service).
R U OK? Day
At Border Express we know the importance of our peoples physical and mental health. With one of our Core Values being ‘BE SAFE’ we believe supporting and bringing awareness to R U OK? day is of great significance and value to us.
