Giving Back in the Communities Where We Live
Our individual business units are responsible for determining which organizations and causes matter most to them, as well as how best to support them through either monetary donations and/or volunteering.
Volaris | Ongoing Support for Frontlines
Volaris Group marked its third consecutive year partnering with Frontlines, an organization that supports over 1,500 youth in Toronto’s Weston community. Volaris is sponsoring their summer camp program, which runs for seven weeks and serves about 420 families with educational, recreational, and enrichment activities. This year's program had a funding gap of more than $18,000 that would have resulted in higher fees for families. Volaris filled the cost gap so that camp fees wouldn’t be a barrier to any family wanting to take part.
Topicus | Two Companies, One Home
For the first time, Yonder and Sobis AP, a newly acquired company within the TSS group, came together with Homes of Hope to co-fund a new home in Ighiș (Sibiu County).

The May 50K initiative raised funds for people living with multiple sclerosis and our Adelaide office also hosted a morning tea in support of Cancer Council’s Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, raising funds for cancer research, prevention and support services.

A small act of service with a big tail-wagging return.

Our colleagues at Jonas Collections & Recovery in India visited Sharansthan, a home and learning center supporting underprivileged children. Our team donated educational essentials including notebooks, school bags and stationery, aimed at empowering children through access to learning resources.

The children welcomed us warmly and displayed remarkable curiosity, confidence, and enthusiasm throughout the interaction.
