Our Community

We believe strongly in being a part of our community and giving back wherever and whenever we can.

We welcome and encourage our team to give back to our community through charity events and fundraising.

Walshs provide ongoing support to a number of charities in various ways. Our team get involved in charity walks and fun runs throughout the year as well as volunteering time to charities and community groups.

We also have ongoing partnerships with several charitable organisations that we are extremely proud to support both financially and with pro bono financial and tax advice.

Aussie Kidz Charity

We are proud supporters of Aussie Kidz Charity with ongoing pro bono financial and taxation advice.

Based in Brisbane, Aussie Kidz Charity helps disabled and under-privileged children across Australia live better lives through the provision of equipment and services that they otherwise could not afford to buy.

Aussie Kidz is an innovative charity and distinguishes itself from other charities in three main ways:
- It is completely volunteer based
- It has very low operating costs – with these being predominantly met by the Directors.
- Its aim is to ensure 100% of funds raised go directly to support its clients – the kids.

Aussie Kidz Charity maintains this low overhead model by primarily raising funds via fundraising events and rely heavily on corporate sponsors to donate goods and services.

 We are proud to partner with this wonderful organisation and support their annual Charity Event.

Hear and Say Centre - Loud Shirt Day

Loud shirt day raises funds for the Hear and Say Centre supporting kids and babies with hearing loss.

This event raises much-needed funds for kids with hearing loss. These funds ensure these young ones get the support they need as early as possible to give them the best chance of minimising the long-term effects of their diagnoses and help them reach their full potential.

YoungCare

By referring us to your friends and colleagues you will help young Australians with high care needs. As part of our dedication to giving back to our local communities, we have set up a corporate partnership with Brisbane-based, not-for-profit organisation, YoungCare.

Every time one of our existing clients refers us to a friend or colleague, we have pledged a donation to help YoungCare spearhead powerful change for young people with high care needs. Each donation will help YoungCare to provide fully accessible and age-appropriate living spaces, grants for equipment and home modifications and support through a national phone line for young people aged 16 – 65 with high care needs.

Since Walshs’ inception 30 years ago we have made it our priority to help make a difference within our communities and we are happy to support YoungCare’s amazing work.

Brisbane Basket Brigade supports our local Brisbane community in a very meaningful way by providing food and gifts for people that need a hand, including families, the elderly and the homeless.

This wonderful charity fundraises throughout the year to put together baskets that are delivered to people in our community who may have fallen on hard times or just need to be reminded that someone cares.

Each year, Walshs are proud to help wrap and pack these gifts in the annual ‘Basket Buddies’ day allowing us participate in a worthwhile event while also enjoying time together in the lead up to the Christmas season.
