Alcoa helps out Marshall
14 April 2011
Alcoa employees have teamed up with Karingal Transcend, formally Mental Health Support, as part of their ongoing employee community volunteering program.
Alcoa Point Henry, with the assistance of BacLinks, has an established calendar of community involvement for 2011, giving employees the opportunity to volunteer during work hours for a range of interesting projects during the year.
The first for the year took place at Karingal Transcend’s property in Marshall on March 31.
Alcoa management and staff restored the property’s grounds with a ‘backyard blitz’ day, which aimed to improve the experience of those who visit the site.
Alcoa Point Henry Smelter Operations Manager Stewart Esdale said “encouraging and supporting our employees to volunteer is a key part of our commitment to the Geelong community. It is great to see our employees lending a hand with our long term partner Karingal, to support people with mental illness.”
