CHARITY PARTNERS
Menslink
Primary Partner
For the last decade Geocon has worked closely with Menslink to enrich the lives of young men living in Canberra.
For nearly twenty years, Menslink has been helping young guys aged 10-25 make better choices and engage positively with society, because young men matter to their families, our community and our future.
They support them through our free counselling, mentoring and education programs, which have helped thousands of young guys get through tough or lonely times with the least amount of harm to themselves and those around them.
They also help young guys build capacity, not dependency; developing and building on their resilience and empathy and helping them become the great adult men they want to be.
“We're proud to be a Geocon’s Principal Charity Partner- together we're building better communities: Geocon by building innovative residential apartments and hotels; Menslink by building great adult men of the future” says CEO Martin Fisk.
Ronald McDonald House
For 10 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities ACT and South East NSW have supported families from across our region who need to care for their seriously ill child in hospital through their House and Family Room. In recent years, with the on-going generous support of our partners, sponsors and donors like Geocon, we have been able to extend that support to offer a week of re-connection to eligible families at our tranquil Family Retreat located at Rosedale, just south of Batemans Bay.
With partners like Geocon, we continue to provide the care and support families in need. Annually, we support over 1,200 families across our Programs and know without this support, we could not have the impact we do.
“Our recent, unexpected, stay allowed our family to be together whilst our daughter was unwell and admitted for high dependency care. So grateful for the clean and quiet room, the laundry, cooking facilities and just meeting other families in similar situations.” The Mattiske Family
“We cannot express enough how grateful we are for providing us with comfort and care during our journey” The Bode Family
Win The Day
Win the Day is an Australian-based, public, not-for-profit charity formed by Canberran, Kristy Giteau after experiencing rare childhood cancer firsthand (Kristy’s daughter Ka’ili was diagnosed with a Wilms Tumour).
Win the Day aims to financially support families with accommodation, meals, and ongoing treatment grants, as well as raise awareness and support the funding of research related to rare childhood cancers.
Geocon is pleased to support Win The Day in 2022.
Sport Partnerships
Canberra Ocean Racing Club
Canberra Ocean Racing Club (CORC) was established in 1979, and its purpose is to allow Canberra people to undertake coastal and offshore cruising, and to compete in the occasional ocean race. Geocon has committed to support CORC through the 2021-2022 Ocean Racing series, with the ultimate goal line honours at the 2022 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
