Our Commitment to Community.
At Eastern Press, we believe that true success extends beyond our business, encompassing our commitment to empowering communities and fostering a healthier, more equitable future. We have chosen to partner with four exceptional charities, Hands on Learning, Koala Kids, Life Ed, and Bali Children Foundation, because each one delivers direct, tangible impact by focusing on the fundamental pillars of a thriving life: wellbeing, education, and social connection. We intend to provide these organisations with reliable support and resources, enabling them to expand their vital work, from giving at-risk Australian students the practical skills and sense of belonging they need to succeed, to delivering happy moments for children undergoing cancer treatment, equipping all children with essential life skills, and empowering disadvantaged communities through education and employment pathways. We are proud to stand alongside these partners who are transforming lives one student, one child, and one community at a time.
