Giving back

The Wiley team participated in the Brisbane to Gold Coast 100km bike ride to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer research. With help from the Wiley team and all riders involved, the organisation was able to raise $108,543 for the cause.

TRACTION, a Brisbane-based organisation that helps to empower young Queenslanders by teaching them bike and motorcycle repair skills – and valuable life skills – reached out to local firm Wiley for much-needed assistance in getting the charity’s new workshop into shape.

The updated workshop facility will provide a venue where Traction can help more vulnerable young people gain skills and life confidence through restoring bikes, motorbikes and other items.

TRACTION engages local communities and serves those most in need by providing a safe, inclusive, action-based environment where vulnerable youth build self-esteem, find a sense of belonging, discover their potential and create their own future.

“Working alongside a TRACTION participant showcasing his skills he developed at TRACTION and being lead through the process of building a bicycle from scratch was a profound experience that I highly recommend. The bike we built was donated to TRACTION as a project for a future participant.” Rob Barron Checkout the spirit of the event in this short video. CEO Bike Build 2020

Wiley carries out many projects in regional communities and is completely aligned with Ronald McDonald House’s mission to keep families together when children are hospitalised in the city. We regularly attend the Red Boot Hoot at the Royal Queensland Show to show our support and raise awareness and money for this awesome cause.

Wiley employees volunteered at Australia’s largest charity kitchen, FareShare Brisbane, to install STOMMPY bollards and safety protection equipment. The safety protection equipment will go a long way to keeping the hundreds of volunteers safe in the facility and ensuring the facility is protected. You can read more about it HERE.

Wiley Managing Director, Tom competed in the 2017 CEO Cook Off paired with Chef, Ben Williamson from Gerard’s bistro. Together, 40 Chefs, 125 CEO’s and 1300 guests descended upon The Cutaway, Barangaroo in Sydney for the event which raised a total of $1.7m for OzHarvest.

Tom, Ben and the other CEO’s & Chefs at the CEO CookOff, prepared and served delicious meals to 1,300 vulnerable, disadvantaged or homeless Australians. The $1.7m raised will support OzHarvest’s purpose to nourish the country through food rescue, nutrition education and hospitality training for disadvantaged youth, and community engagement programs. It will also go towards responding to the critical food wastage issues facing society.

OzHarvest Founder and CEO, Ronni Kahn said the flagship fundraiser allows OzHarvest to rescue and redistribute more fresh food.

“The face of hunger is diverse and it’s never quite who you think,” she said. “For one night, CEOs, business leaders and chefs unite to make a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate. It was truly a night to remember, full of love, humility, dignity and respect. That is the magic of the CEO CookOff.”
