Have you ever donated to a charity before? Perhaps it was a memorable experience, or maybe it is still an ongoing charity event. Regardless, if you look back to that time, know that you made a big difference and contributed toward meaningful positive change.
Boxhead Plastics, founded in 2020, thus far has been funded by our founder Bec Healy, however, recently we have started fundraising and accepting donations from our supporters to help increase our efforts of collecting, recycling and repurposing scrap plastic car bumper bars; keeping this waste plastic out of landfill and our bushlands.

What is fundraising and why do people donate?
Fundraising can be carried out by NGOs, foundations, associations, collectives, or individuals and is the process of gathering voluntary contributions of money or other resources in order to be able to implement a project or progress a charitable purpose; either social, economic or environmental.
There is great power in giving back to the community and, even the smallest donation is powerful enough to make you feel that you have accomplished something grand. This is because when you donate, you know that your money is being used for a greater purpose. It can be seen as one of your values.
In fact, the United Brain Association 2020,states that “the psychological events that take place when giving have some very impressive results for your own personal mental health“. Additionally, children can learn about the concept of generosity through donating. As children grow, learning this concept from an early age can develop their personalities for the greater good, inspired them and others to be a part of positive change.
