Our Social Responsibility

BridgePoint Group is keen to make a contribution to the society that we live and work in. In 2010, our panel member, Paul Gallimore conducted a not-for-profit forum as part of his role with CTC Consulting. One of the interesting findings was that the sector wanted professional service firms to donate their expertise and not to, for example, paint fences for a day. With this in mind, BridgePoint Group (and its people) utilise their skills and experience for the betterment of a number of not-for-profit entities.

BridgePoint Group are proud supporters of the Gift of Life Foundation, where our Managing Director, Neil Parker is a former Director. We support them by preparing the accounts on a pro bono basis and enjoying their fundraising golf days.  The Foundation has been established to make Australians aware of our organ transplant crisis and encourage more Australians to become donors. Awareness is promoted by working with sporting organisations and sportsmen and women to actively support organ donation. http://www.giftoflife.com.au/

Mates Against Melanoma is a Not-for-profit charity organisation and BridgePoint Group are looking after their annual accounts and quarterly BAS on the pro bono basis. Jason Sprott established Mates Against Melanoma, a charity that seeks to raise awareness of getting regular skin checks to prevent melanomas becoming life threatening. It has been quite a remarkable journey for Jason since being diagnosed with stage IV metastasis melanoma in 2004. Jason decided the best way to help himself was by helping others, so he started Mates Against Melanoma. Melanomas, if identified early, can be successfully cured. With early detection the key, Jason has launched Australia’s National Skin Check Day (ANSCD) and it is coming up on Thursday 24th February 2022. 

Our Chairman, Paul Gallimore donates his time to act as a Member of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service Marketing Advisory Board. The Service provides the highest standard of 24 hour aeromedical, search and rescue service free of charge to the communities of the Hunter, Central Coast, Mid North Coast, New England and North West regions of New South Wales. http://www.rescuehelicopter.com.au/
