-- As part of our partnership with leading electrical supplier, Lawrence & Hanson, Yancoal Australia has assisted in donating $16,500 to the ‘Kids Under Cover’ charity, which works tirelessly to prevent youth homelessness.
Kids Under Cover envisions a community where no young person is homeless. Every day they strive to prevent youth homelessness through the provision of secure and stable accommodation, and financial assistance for young people to continue or re-engage with their education or training.
These funds will continue to grow and expand Kids Under Cover’s work in providing safe, stable accommodation and educational opportunities for young people at risk of homelessness.
Lawrence & Hanson supports Yancoal Australia across mine sites in New South Wales and Queensland, providing electrical and industrial products to help ensure reliable and efficient mining operations.
As a component of the partnership, the miner generates partner reward points which were recently converted into a dollar value and donated to Kids Under Cover. This was marked with a cheque presentation event with representatives from Lawrence & Hanson, Yancoal Australia and Kids Under Cover in attendance.
Tim Van Woerkom, General Manager Procurement & Major Projects, from Yancoal Australia was honoured to donate to such a vital charity.
“We aim to make a positive difference to the community and the lives of the people living and working in the areas we operate.
“Kids Under Cover works directly with the community to identify gaps and solutions to help young people who are homeless or at high risk of homelessness.
“This was an opportunity to help young people who are at risk in the community, so for us, supporting Kids Under Cover was a perfect fit,” said Tim.
Lawrence & Hanson is Australia's leading electrical wholesaler with over 150 branches across the country employing over 1,000 staff. It is focused on the B2B supply of electrical, industrial and safety products.
Jason Crosara from Lawrence & Hanson was pleased to continue supporting an incredible charity.
“Working with Kids Under Cover supports our mission to making a difference in people lives.
“No young person in the community chooses to be homeless. Kids Under Cover does a fantastic job at trying to intervene early to alleviate the pressures that lead to homelessness.
“We are a longstanding electrical partner of Yancoal Australia and proud we could combine our missions to build stronger communities and donate funding to Kids Under Cover,” said Jason.
Kids Under Cover works to prevent and end youth homelessness by delivering secure, purpose-built studios, education scholarships and tailored support that keep young people connected to family, community and education.
