QCOSS is leading the ‘Make Queensland Fair’ campaign to shine a light on the cost of living crisis affecting everyday Queenslanders and the resulting increase in demand for front-line-services. Volunteering Queensland highlights that a direct consequence of the cost-of-living crisis is the worrying decline in volunteers who report that volunteering has become unaffordable. The increasing cost of living is undoubtedly a significant contributing factor in reducing the number of people who have the time or capacity to volunteer, as they instead require more employment to make up for an income deficit or simply don’t have the disposable income to support their volunteering. Given that close to half of all charities rely solely on volunteers to operate, it is essential the Queensland Government does all it can to enable volunteers to help those experiencing vulnerability and need in our community.

When designing Mileway’s ESG strategy, we aligned our thinking with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, including number 11: ‘Building sustainable cities and communities’. Helping out in the places where we operate is a win-win – for us, our customers, our employees and all the people who live and work nearby. Our Mileway Acts programme, launched April 2023, lets employees suggest local charities and initiatives for us to support, as long as they focus on inclusive education, or building sustainable urban environments. It’s one way in which we are fulfilling our commitment to give all Mileway employees the chance to get involved in community engagement.

When the City Council steps up to support your efforts in #foodwaste solutions, then you know you have the right people on your team! Great work NYC! Other cities large and small can use this as an example to follow and advocate for change and the city councils can use the power they have with their own budgets to support #communitycomposting, #communitygardens, and #communityyouthengagement in the fight against #climatechange. #sustainability #climateactionnow

Return and Earn proudly celebrates 11 billion bottles, cans, and cartons recycled through NSW’s network of 620 return points. Not only has $1.1 billion in container refunds gone back into participants' pockets, but $54 million has been raised from donations and site hosting fees to support charities and community groups using the scheme’s fundraising features. This milestone is not possible without the eight out of ten adults in NSW who are regularly returning their containers, helping reduce litter and keep materials in use longer to support a growing domestic circular economy. We are excited to see the positive impacts towards sustainability as we convert waste into a valuable resource and deliver tangible social, economic, and environmental benefits to the community.
