Community

Being a locally owned and operated businesses in both the South West and Perth regions of Western Australia, Perkins recognises our corporate social responsibility to local and global communities. As such, we have chosen to partner with a number of reputable and like-minded organisations in order to meet our responsibilities in a meaningful and innovative way.

Perkins has established and grown long term partnerships with a number of local charities and community organisations. Our partnerships extend from well-known global charity organisations, to local sports team and arts centres. In addition to this, we have sponsored or participated in a variety of charity and community events such as the Karri Cup, the Val Lishman Foundation Truck Pull, The Great South-West Bed Race, Camp Quality esCarpade, Movember, Relay for Life, Jeans for Genes Day, the Lexus Telethon Ball, the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea, Fly the Flag for Mates in Construction and the South West Young Achievers Program to name just a few!

The Tabitha Foundation operates to help the poorest people in Cambodia through programmes that focus on personal and financial development. Since 1994, the Tabitha Foundation has reached over half a million people, in an attempt to break the vicious cycle of extreme poverty.

In February 2017, Perkins sent 10 employees to Cambodia, to participate in the House Building Project run by the Tabitha Foundation. Following on from the success of this trip, we then sent another group of 9 employees in November 2018. This program saw Perkins staff fund and build 18 houses for families living below the poverty line over the two trips.
