Why giving to our community is important to us
Our values: people first, integrity, community and skills.
People@work has been part of the local community for more than 27 years. Proudly Not-For-Profit, our purpose is to assist the local community in joining the workforce, and matching local talent with local businesses. We do this because we know that it’s all about people, not profit. We measure our success by the many thankful people that we engage with on a daily basis: employers and employees who in their own right, feel more connected to their community through their employment.
Our not-for-profit status also ensures that we are audited against what we say we will do, we do. We honour our promise and commitment to the communities that support us.

2016 Annual Report: We of course need to thank a great many people and organisations for their contributions. To all the donors, corporate supporters and sponsors, work place givers, event participants, community partners, volunteers, Trusts and Foundations that have supported us throughout the year we say a huge thank you. That support has been unwavering and allows us to continue our work for the Geelong region.
Murray BoydWhy I love to support Cottage By The Sea: “With Cottage by the Sea, kids can build a lot of self-confidence, they learn some new skills, and of course in that group environment they can make friends and build resilience. Also, they can have fun, get away and learn there’s a lot more than just the world they live in.”
Jimmy BartelENGAGE 2016 Grant Recipient: “Footy is a unique game that can bring us so much and for a young person experiencing homelessness the connection that a footy club can provide is priceless,” says Ladder Geelong Development Coach Oscar Owens. “Footy can bring self-esteem, smiles, pride and enjoyment and everyone deserves the opportunity to feel these things regardless of economic or residential status.”
