We are proud to support a wide variety of community initiatives and charitable organisations from around the globe – both directly and through the John Maxwell Menzies (JMM) Community Fund.

The Fund, created to encourage employees to participate in charitable, voluntary and community related activities, has contributed thousands of dollars to our employees over the years, whether that’s running a race for charity, fundraising for a local children’s sport team, or simply being passionate about a cause close to their heart.

To mark #InternationalDayofCharity, here's some of the recent causes we’re proud to support:
