Well College Global's Corporate Social Responsibility Work
Of course most of us can do a little more and Well College is thrilled to be in a position to assist communities with a need for resources. In particular, Well College is keen to support women and children's health and education as we believe these are key areas for self-determination and independence. In doing so we hope that the entire community experiences positive outcomes. If we care for the carers our future generations will benefit!
Well College together companies here in Australia with communities in remote areas and overseas ensuring accountability, ethical conduct and transparency. Such initiatives have the advantage of maximal provision, nothing is lost in administration or bureaucracy as everything is donated and shipped direct from source to recipient.

2020 Planet-Loving Welcome Packs
#putheplantsback initiative by Well College
Students undertaking our major coaching programs receive either a digital welcome pack (if overseas) or a physical Welcome Pack in the mail consisting of planet-friendly, people-friendly treats. Founder and Director of Well College Global, Leanne Cooper, is passionate about the #puttheplantsback movement, so each physical Welcome Pack includes a pack of native Australia palm or tree seeds.
Every student is a "stone cast upon the water and is creating many ripples"!
Yearly Festive Donations
Each year Well College Global searches the increasingly long list of over-worked, under-funded charities and selects one to make a donation to. Here's just a few of the recipients:

2018 - Weave - http://weaveinc.org.au/ 2001 - Ongoing - Greenpeace Australia - https://www.greenpeace.org.au 2017 - OzHarvest - https://www.ozharvest.org 2016 - Beyond Blue - https://www.beyondblue.org.au/ 2016 - White Ribbon - https://www.whiteribbon.org.au 2015 - Manly Women's Shelter - http://nbws.org.au/ 2014 - Cambodian Children's Fund - https://www.cambodianchildrensfund.org/ 2002- Ongoing - World Vision Child Sponsor |
Schools stationery and clothing initiative
As part of our commitment to health and well-being locally and wider afield, Well College partnered with a number of other companies to ship clothing and school stationery direct to communities in remote Australia, schools in Fiji and other Pacific Islands. Working with Pelikan Artline, Curl Curl North Public School, Pickles School Uniforms and G&R Wills we have been able to ship children's clothing and school and office stationary to hundreds of children and families.
Indigenous Childrens' Support - 2015 Program
But wait there's more... 2015 will see Pelikan Artline freight extensive school stationery to remote areas in Australia to support indigenous initiatives in schooling to encourage positive experiences and outcomes at school in the early years. Relevant and culturally sensitive education is a resource that if you don't have access to can be of great disadvantage. Reducing the gap between indigenous Australia and non-indigenous requires urgent attention to not only health but education and much more.
Tonga, next stop! 2014
We have a further container of similar goods going to Tonga early 2014 and are looking for more donations, children's sports shoes and school shoes would be a great add-in. Currently the schools and churches in our chosen community make their own school books; can't think of a better community to support.
If you are a die-hard Wallabies supporter you will remember the great Willie O. Kevin Hurly from Pelikan Artline organised the shipment to Willie O's communities at Sia-'A-Toutai College in Nuku'alofa, Tonga! Items will be distributed to 12 family groups to support their learning and wellbeing. Educating communities is supporting everyone!

Fiji - Sigatoko, Cuvu District Schools - 2013
Just landed! Pelikan Artline have organised the freighting of goods to the Cuvu District Schools in Sigatoko in Fiji. Pelikan Artline are contributing the container, freight and actual stationery, shipping agents also waved costs, while schools and uniform providers are donating unused track pants, shorts, shirts, hats and socks.
Yes, we have got this enormous container (pictured below) to communities in Sigatoka, Fiji. Three schools will benefit from Pelikan Artline's shipment of stationery as well as unused clothing from Curl Curl North Public School, plus Pickles School Uniforms. Thanks to Kevin Hurly at Artline, it was a huge undertaking and many lessons learned along the way. Thanks also to Belinda Batty at Curl Curl for organising the fabulous clothing! Oh and to the staff at the Shangri-La, Fiji. Sooo proud!
