From the beginning Advanced Group has encouraged a vibrant culture of employee giving and volunteering in support of charities and community initiatives that are important to them.
Our team shares a genuine commitment to supporting local charities, communities and sporting clubs. We regularly contribute to ongoing charity appeals by volunteering and donating, including Sydney Children’s Hospital and Cerebral Palsy Alliance, to help make a difference to the lives of the many people who need extra support.
Variety Australia
Variety Australia: The Children’s Charity for children in need is our charity of choice. Advanced Group have chosen Variety the children’s charity as a large number of our staff are parents, a few just beginning their journey into parenthood and a few on the other end, sending grown up kids out into the world. Our team hope we can make a difference to the lives of many kids that are either sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.

Pyjama Foundation 2020
The Pyjama Foundation was founded in 2004 to provide children in foster care the opportunity to changed the direction of their lives with learning, life skills and confidence.
For 3 years running the Advanced Team have worked together to raise funds to buy gifts for less fortunate kids in Sydney. This is a very worthy cause to ensure kids in foster care have a safe and happy Christmas.
R U OK?
R U OK day is a national day of action, dedicated to inspiring all people of all backgrounds to regularly ask each other, Are you ok? It also encourages everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and start a conversation with anyone who may be struggling with life.
Advanced Group have supported R U OK day for the last 5 years. All the team agree it is a great cause and are happy to get involved by wearing yellow in the office, we have also arranged fundraising events including an afternoon tea in the Sydney Head office and a sausage sizzle for contractors, clients and their families.
Pyjama Foundation 2021
It’s an annual tradition for the team to get involved and give-back to the community by digging deep and buying a range of gifts for children between 0-18 years of age who are involved in the program. Everyone loves to get involved, either by helping to make a shopping list, hitting the shops or taking part in the 2 day ‘wrapathon’ before delivery is made to the foundation.
Each year the foundation hosts parties when they hand out hundreds of Christmas presents for children who may have unhappy memories of this time of year. Whilst they haven’t been able to host parties this year, they have still welcomed our gifts which have been handed out to children by their very own Pyjama angels
This year may have been a tough one, but there is no better feeling than ending it on a high and helping to brighten the lives of children in care in NSW during the festive season.
Well done team !
