Willcocks Group Giving Drive
Redeem token
A giving drive for everyone we work with

We’ve been fortunate.
Help us share it.

We’ve been lucky to work with good people. Now we’re sharing some of that good fortune by inviting you to help decide which charities receive our support.

The programme

Why we’re doing this.

Why we do this

We work hard and we have been so fortunate, we want to share this with the communities around us. Our giving drive covers local causes that touch us personally to charities that tackle diseases affecting the world's most vulnerable. It’s a way for all of us to be involved and understand how we are making a difference to the lives of those around us.

How a month works

Each month, three vetted charities go up, one jar each. Everyone invited that month gets a single voting token, and the vote shares decide how the month's giving is split. There's no end date. The drive runs month after month, for as long as the group does.

Example figures. Every shortlist is drawn from The Life You Can Save's vetted list, so however the vote lands, it does real good.

The help so far

Where it's gone
so far.

Over the last few months the group has backed ten charities. This is what that help looks like on the ground, and each month's giving will be added here as it lands.

Figures are estimates based on The Life You Can Save's impact calculators.

Why this exists

Fifty years of work,
made possible by you.

The Willcocks family has quietly supported a range of causes for years through its charitable giving. The giving drive opens that up to everyone we work with.

None of it would be possible without the people we've worked alongside for decades: our teams, our subcontractors and our customers. The wider Willcocks family. To say thank you to everyone who's contributed along the way, we'd like you to help decide where the giving lands.

It isn't a campaign with an end date. Every month three new causes go up, and the vote starts again.

The Willcocks family
Our partner

There's no bad vote.

Every charity on the shortlist is drawn from Peter Singer's The Life You Can Save, an Australian-founded group that evaluates charities for measurable, high-impact work. So however your token gets used, the money's already in a hand-picked set.

The only real choice is which story speaks to you this month.

An evidence-based approach to giving.

They look at multidimensional poverty — health, education, living standards — and recommend organisations that deliver real, measurable change.

Every $1 they invest in operations generates an estimated $9.19 for their recommended charities.

"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."

Edmund Burke
Supporting communities

The trust's ongoing beneficiaries.

Alongside the monthly giving drive, the Willcocks family has quietly supported Australian causes for years. "Avenues of Honour" is one such beneficiary, a national tree-planting project that revives more than 600 living historic sites around Australia honouring those who made the supreme sacrifice in war. Mental health and children's charities are other focus areas, many nominated by team members over the years.
