Beyond financial support, the team collectively contributed over 350 volunteer hours to community events, fundraisers, and hands-on projects, participating as organisers, fundraisers, board members, graphic designers, and community advocates. The office also offered promotional support through digital campaigns, newsletters, and local marketing channels, alongside practical guidance and advice to grassroots organisations, exemplifying a flexible, people-focused approach to community involvement.
