Corporate Volunteering Testimonials
“I had the best time giving back to the bay and learning about the ecosystem and how the issues of man-made pollution have, and are, affecting the coastline and wildlife. It was really great to meet new people in the company that I recognised from walking around the office but have never dealt with. Being a surfer and avid ocean lover, I found the day to be a great overall experience and majorly fulfilling, not just a bit of time to get out of the office! The two ladies running the day were really friendly and full of information. They could answer any question I had regarding the coastline.”
- Luke, Field Sales Support Representative
“Organising volunteering with the Port Phillip EcoCentre has been an absolute pleasure. The team are very friendly and flexible with days that we can have our groups come and volunteer. I was fortunate enough to join one of the volunteer groups and had such a fun time. It was also an educational day and I learnt about how nurdles can be so harmful to sea-life. Prior to volunteering here I didn’t know what a nurdle was! Now each time I am at the beach I am on the lookout! Thank you for organising a great day, the feedback from the team has been very positive”
- Sally, Corporate Social Responsibility Coordinator
“Our day at St Kilda beach was interesting, educational and fun. The activities brought out the inner kids in us; digging in the sand and sifting for shells and searching for nurdles on the beach!”
– Danny, Enterprise Solution Architect
