Team Volunteer Event – Making a difference in our local community


  ----        

  ----        
Our team had the privilege of participating in a community luncheon held at Turramurra Unity Church on 23 October 2024. We assisted with setting up the venue, preparing meals, and warmly greeting the elderly guests. Our team also served drinks and meals, but the most meaningful part of the day was having the opportunity to engage in heartfelt conversations with the seniors.

Many of the elderly attendees live alone and often feel isolated, so our primary focus was to make them feel welcome and valued. It was truly rewarding to spend time with them, share stories, and brighten their day with our presence.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a worthwhile cause and make a positive impact on those in need within our local community. It was a meaningful experience for everyone involved, and we all left with a deep appreciation for the importance of connection and kindness.

Our Commitment to Building a Brighter Society

  ----        

At Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Oceania (MSIO), our commitment to making a positive impact on society is unwavering.

 
Recently, we had the privilege of taking a significant step in this direction through our donation of furniture during the Sydney office relocation. The donation, aimed at creating welcoming and comfortable spaces, aligns with our core values of community support and compassion. It reflects our dedication to making a difference where it matters most.

Supporting Lifeline: A Commitment to Our Community

Lifeline, a national charity organization, stands as a beacon of hope for Australians in emotional distress, offering 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services.

 
Emotional distress affects individuals across our community, and every bit counts.
We are delighted to play a part in supporting Lifeline’s crucial mission. We invite everyone to consider how they, too, can make a difference, whether through volunteering, spreading awareness, or their own contributions. With our donation, we’re contributing to a brighter future for all Australians.

Other community support

One of our colleagues supported Carlton-Ramsgate Uniting Church through GLEE (God Loves Everyone Equally) Youth group and Sunday School. With this connection, part of our furniture donation also went to the church. The furniture is used at the office that supports the activities of students at the church, contributing to their mission.

   

MSIO will continue to be active in contributing to society through our donation and other means.
