As part of our commitment to sustainability and community support, the closure of our Regis Weston Home marked the beginning of a meaningful partnership with GreenChair. This collaboration ensured that furniture and equipment from the Home, items that might otherwise have ended up in landfill, were instead repurposed to benefit those in need.
GreenChair transforms surplus corporate items into positive social and environmental outcomes by giving furniture a second life. Through this initiative, more than 1,200 items were successfully diverted from landfill, weighing a total of over 25,800 kilograms.
The impact reached well beyond waste reduction. Sixteen charities across Australia received essential furnishings and equipment, helping to strengthen their capacity to serve local communities. One and a half 40-foot containers of goods were also shipped to Ghana, where they were warmly received. In a remarkable display of community effort, Deputy Chief Fire Officer Heroine Sekyere-Boakye of the Ghanaian National Fire Service led her team in offloading, sorting and distributing the donations to local organisations.
This initiative demonstrates how thoughtful collaboration and intentional efforts can foster both environmental responsibility and positive social impact.
