Overells in the community

Here at Overells we believe in a strong sense of community.

Examples of this community support include donations to the UNICEF appeal for East Africa, the Inspire Foundation and the Indonesian earthquake appeal, and annual participation in the Cool Night Classic which raises funds for different charities.

We also sponsor a girl from Bangladesh, Yeasmin, through World Vision and have made it possible for handicapped children to view a play at the Queensland Theatre Company.

In 2010 our staff participated in the “Everest Virtual Challenge” to support the Royal Childrens Hospital Foundation and the “Thong day” for Youngcare.  This year we have provided assistance to Heartkids and Multicap and with the clean up following the Brisbane floods.

We also provide pro-bono services for Specialised Programs And Community Endeavours – a local independent community centre for people with special needs, and in the past have hosted Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea to support the Cancer Council.
