At ASH Group Holdings our mandate is to ensure we that we "give back" to Aboriginal communities on as many projects we do after the completion of our builds. We do this by training "local" people with basic construction skills needed to become actively involved in our projects, offering employment and lasting assets the entire community can utilise, by building structures locals benefit from, and sponsoring local sporting teams. Following our completed builds in Moree for Aboriginal Housing Office @aho_nsw, we built a BBQ Hut for the Moree Boomerangs RLFC, whilst also sponsoring two indigenous athletes for an Australian Indigenous mixed touch football side that went overseas to compete. Additionally, we sponsored the MOREE BOARS RLFC women's league tag side and trained 6 Indigenous people in the Boggabilla community in WHS and the use of power tools who later helped us on our builds in that area. Stay tuned for community givebacks! #Sponsorship #sponsorship # #IndigenousEmployment #indigenousemployment #training #beyondbuilding
