Our giving back culture

At Access, charity is at the core of our values and we offer a variety of initiatives that allow our team to give something back and make a difference. Each year, our employee community nominates a cause close to their hearts to become our local charity of the year. These charities receive fundraising in addition to other support from the business. For example, with every pound raised by our staff, Access doubles it. A true partnership in every sense.

Our people are also able to dedicate their time to give back to their local community or chosen cause with 3 extra days of leave to make this possible. The Access Foundation makes a real impact in our communities. Through this philanthropy, we support causes nominated by our team and work to bridge the digital divide.

Charity of the year

This year our chosen charities are the Children's Cancer Institute (Australia) and The Starship Foundation (New Zealand).
 
Children's Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to curing childhood cancer. As cancer remains the leading disease-related cause of death in children, their research work is absolutely critical.
 
The Starship Foundation is the leading provider of paediatric healthcare in New Zealand and the South Pacific. The foundation delivers family-centred care to infants, children, young people, and their whānau both in hospital and community settings.

The Access Foundation

The Access Foundation was set up in 2021 following the success and growth enjoyed by The Access Group over the previous decade.

While affiliated with the company in terms of its identity, The Access Foundation is a separate organisation, governed by an independent board of trustees and with its own objectives and goals.

The foundation is focused on making a real difference to people’s lives by awarding grants to charities that make a valuable and measurable positive impact.
