JUST CUTS™, ROYAL DOCTOR SERVICE AND SANE AUSTRALIA OUR PLANS FOR 2016
As a company, we feel it’s our responsibility to give back to local causes that make a real difference to the community. Over the years, we’ve partnered with a number of fantastic charities, but it’s our ongoing work with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia and SANE Australia that we’re proudest of. Not only because of the inspiring missions they stand for, but also for the huge impact that they have on everyday people across Australia.
This year, we raised over $15,000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia at the Cut-A-Rama charity event. Cut-A-Rama is the yearly kick-off event of the Royal Flyer Doctor Outback Car Trek, which just celebrated its 26th year. Our CEO, Denis McFadden, is a proud trekker and is already preparing for next year’s jaunt.
We also provide every Just Cuts™ salon in Australia with donation boxes for the charity, which are displayed in salons all year round and are banked regularly by our Franchise Owners. And we’re always astounded at just how effective this commonly considered ‘old-school’ marketing method has proven to be when the yearly collection tally comes in.
As part of our partnership with SANE Australia, we created and distributed the SANE Guide for Client Service to all our salons in July. The guide is kept in-salons and is an educational tool for our over 3,000 Team Members, designed to help them to better understand the range of ways that mental illness can affect people. It’s our hope that this guide has helped, and will continue to help, our Teams handle any difficult situations with Clients and fellow Team Members alike.
In 2016, we’re committing to ramping up our efforts with our charity partners and are aiming to make each year bigger and better. And we’re calling out for all businesses to make the pledge too. It’s time that we all take a look at the difference we can make on the community. We truly believe that it’s our corporate responsibility to dig deep and give back, wherever and whenever we can. And no commitment is too big or small.
If you’re interested in partnering with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia or SANE Australia, they’d love to hear from you. Just email vanessa@justcuts.com and we’ll happily put you in touch.
