GSK has had a long standing partnership, over 15 years, with Illoura House, a community organisation located in Boronia.
Illoura House provides essential support for children with additional needs and their families. Our support provides financial assistance so local families can access the much needed programs.
“As a result of GSK’s sponsorship we were able to assist 12 Illoura families with their fees this year paying either half or all of their fees. One mother was so overcome when we rang her just before Christmas that she was in tears with relief.”
Janene Swalwell Coordinator Specialist Support and Resources, Knox City Council
Through these ongoing relationships GSK is making a real difference to the communities in which we operate. Research shows that for every $1 invested in early childhood programs to identify and assist children with learning difficulties, $7 is saved to the community*.
*This figure was quoted from the Chair's forward (Jan Burnswoods MLC) in the issues paper from the NSW State Legislative Council Standing Committee. "Foundations for Learning: A new vision for New South Wales Issues Paper 4 March 2002".
