Investing in positive social outcomes

WAW actively engages with the communities we service. We support regionally based initiatives that help communities instigate social, educational, environmental and health programs. We distribute these funds to address local issues, influence positive change in the community and help make our community a thriving place to live, work and visit. 

We support groups within our community either via financial sponsorship agreements or through contributions of goods and services. Additionally, we support regional programs that deliver positive educational, medical or safety outcomes to the community.

Sponsorship is used to enhance our key message as a community-based organisation, to strengthen recognition of the brand to the broader community and to maintain or develop further relationships with communities and groups.
