Andrew Harding, Managing Director & CEO of Australia’s largest rail freight operator said eligible charities and not-for-profit groups have until the end of October to apply for funding for projects in four key areas.

“We support projects that fit under one of four categories including Community Safety, Health & Wellbeing, Education or the Environment,” said Mr Harding.

“Our operations span areas of Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia, and it’s in these regions where our people live and work and our trains travel.

“It’s important to give a helping hand to charities and community groups so they can continue their good work and deliver outcomes that support the quality of life for people in our communities.

“In the past, we have supported more than 370 projects through our Community Giving Fund and are looking forward to continuing this support in our final round for this year.
