CSR in Action: Wilson Security's CSR Journey Goes From Strength to Strength

We are proud to announce that Wilson Security reached a remarkable milestone in 2023: surpassing $1 million in donations to our national charity partner, the Alannah and Madeline Foundation (AMF), since the inception of our partnership in 2020.

This incredible milestone supports our joint belief that all children and young people should be able to live a happy and safe life, free from violence and trauma.

To date, the relationship has enabled 12,000 vulnerable children to be provided with the comfort of a Buddy Bag, 3,500 early childhood educators trained to better support and educate children through the Trauma Consultancy Service (TraCS), and specialised therapeutic support provided to 35 children through the Children Ahead program.

Nick Frangoulis, CEO of Wilson Security, said: "As we celebrate surpassing the $1 million mark in contributions, it’s important to remember that our true achievement lies in the tangible differences we’re making in the lives of vulnerable children and young people.  At Wilson Security, our purpose extends far beyond the boundaries of security services; we are dedicated to creating an environment where children and young people are free from trauma and have the opportunity to thrive with hope and joy.

This milestone in our partnership with the Alannah & Madeline Foundation is a testament to the power of collective action fuelled by compassion and a unified vision for a world where children and young people are safe and supported.

I extend my deepest gratitude to our dedicated Wilson Security employees and every supporter of this cause.  This unwavering generosity is the driving force behind the positive change, ensuring that together, we are safeguarding the present and paving the way for a brighter, more secure future for children and young people.  This is our commitment and our privilege."

Sarah Davies, CEO of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, expresses her deepest gratitude: "Surpassing the $1 million milestone is a testament to the incredible generosity and commitment of the leadership team and all staff at Wilson Security.

“We are incredibly proud of what we’ve been able to achieve together. Their support has been instrumental in our efforts to provide safety and support to children affected by trauma. The impact of this partnership has shown thousands of children and young people across the country that someone cares for them, that they matter. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”

From October to December, a nationwide appreciation tour was conducted by Wilson Security's Beti Dafovski (General Manager Comcare, Welfare and CSR), alongside representatives from the Alannah and Madeline Foundation. They visited numerous state offices to extend heartfelt thanks to our teams for their unwavering support over the years.

These celebratory events, complete with moving speeches from Beti Dafovski and the AMF representatives, were powerful reminders of the vital work done by AMF and the significant difference our contributions make.

In a touching gesture, AMF presented our State Managers with framed collections of heartfelt thank you postcards from children who have benefitted from the Buddy Bags provided through Wilson Security's funding.


Each state office's celebration was a moment to acknowledge and honour the efforts of our staff. The presentations by the AMF representative highlighted the crucial need for their services and the real impact of our support.


The message from AMF was clear: our collective efforts are making a substantial difference in the lives of many children and young people.

We are immensely proud of this partnership and what we have achieved together. It is a shining example of how our combined efforts can create significant, positive change.

As proud charity partners of the Bravery Trust - a charity created to provide financial assistance to veterans and their families in their time of need  - respected and proud veteran Grant Moffitt (General Manager - Department of Defence), Nick Frangoulis (CEO), and Beti Dafovski (General Manager Comcare, Welfare and CSR) participated in the Bravery Trek.

We are tremendously proud to have sponsored the Bravery Trek in 2023 through our ongoing support of the Bravery Trust. Each year, the Bravery Trek coincides with Veteran’s Health Week to raise awareness and funding of the Bravery Trust’s commitment to providing financial support and advice to veterans and their families facing financial hardship.

We are so proud of our Tasmanian team for braving the winter cold and smashing their fundraising goal for the Salvos Sleepout. 

The team raised over $6,000 for the Salvation Army Street2Home Program, raising awareness and support for those experiencing homelessness in Tasmania. This program helps those experiencing homelessness by providing services such as access to accommodation, case management services, advocacy, financial assistance, counselling and meals, as well as connection and referral to other specialist services.

This year, Wilson Security has saved 342 lives thanks to 114 donations of whole blood, plasma, and platelets for the Australian Red Cross - Lifeblood.

The Wilson Security national Foodbank drive through July and August saw the Essendon office alone amass an impressive 80+ kilos of food donations!

In Focus: Another Remarkable Movember Campaign 

November 2023 saw us cultivating our facial furniture for our annual Movember initiative.

We're thrilled to announce that we not only met but exceeded our national fundraising goal, raising a stellar $15,103, surpassing our target of $10,080. This means that over four years, Wilson Security has raised over $105,000 for Movember!

Here's a snapshot of our incredible Movember journey: 

• The Mo Sistas embraced the 60km Walk Challenge, covering a collective distance of 1,939km. A special shoutout to Beti Dafovski [General Manager Comcare, Welfare and CSR] for leading with an impressive 374.5km! 
• We held a national bake sale, bringing together treats and teams for a good cause. 
• And our National Movember Captain, Mitesh Patel, dyed his moustache 'Wilson red' to celebrate reaching our fundraising goal! 

A massive thank you to everyone who raised awareness and funds for men's health. Here's to making even greater strides in the 2024 Movember campaign!

LOOKING AHEAD

As we enter 2024, our journey in Corporate Social Responsibility at Wilson Security continues with renewed purpose and focus.

In the coming year, we're particularly excited about further strengthening our bond with the Alannah and Madeline Foundation. This partnership remains at the heart of our Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, embodying our commitment to positive change.

Our 2024 agenda also includes:

• Continued collaboration with Lifeblood, aiming to sustain and, where possible, increase our contributions to this vital cause.
• Active participation in Run for the Kids, where we'll be raising funds and fostering team spirit.
• Building upon the continued success of our yearly Movember campaign, we'll again be working to smash our fundraising goals as we raise awareness of men's health issues.
• And more!

These initiatives reflect our commitment to making a difference through consistent, dedicated actions.

At Wilson Security, our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goes beyond business—it's about making a tangible difference in the communities we live and operate in. 

Join us in this journey as we strive to make 2024 a year of impactful contributions and meaningful connections. Together, let's look forward to a year of thoughtful, sustained efforts to make a positive impact in the communities we serve.
