What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)? The following definitions provide an indication of the principals underpinning CSR.

Family Life’s partnership with Dimension Data has proven to be mutually beneficial and we thank them for their commitment, mentoring and support.

Rodd Cunico, State Manager of Dimension Data said,
“ The opportunity to work with YouthWorx provides me with a wonderful opportunity to give something back to the community which is a desire I’ve had for some time. To be honest I didn’t think I had anything to offer. Through my engagement with YouthWorx I have been able to apply skills I have learnt in my career to an organisation searching for just such assistance. To me it’s a perfect win, win. At the end of the day, both parties get something in return and when put into practice we all get something very special out of the relationship. The people running YouthWorx are fantastic people. I truly walk away from every meeting feeling inspired and it’s a real privilege to work with them.”
