Helping hand for mental health – 2025 Lifeline Giving Day with the Buildcorp Foundation
We are excited to share that the Lifeline Australia Help @ Hand Giving Day on Wednesday 2nd April raised over $620,000, with $300,000 dollar matched by the Buildcorp Foundation in 24 hours.
We started the day with an initial collective target goal of $500,000 (including $250k matched by the Buildcorp Foundation). The target goal was reached on Wednesday evening and as a result, the Foundation added a $50,000 bonus round to contribute for dollar matching by the public bringing the new target to a collective $600,000.
On the day, more than 20 Buildcorp and Euroline sites across the East Coast put their ‘tools down’ to raise awareness and fundraising activities to raise money for the Buildcorp Foundation to contribute the dollar matching.
This important national fundraising initiative reinforces the Buildcorp Foundation’s commitment to an Australia free of suicide, having now donated more than $2.3 million dollars for Lifeline Australia over the past 10 years.
Lifeline expects to respond to over 1.4 million requests for support this year, creating an average of 120 safety plans a day to keep a person experiencing suicidal ideation safe. The funds donated will support Lifeline’s digital suicide prevention services including the Support Toolkit and BeyondNow app to allow all Australians to access support in a way that works for them.
Thank you to the Buildcorp and Euroline community including our people, partners, suppliers, subcontractors, clients and consultants, through your efforts and support, we are helping the Buildcorp Foundation and Lifeline Australia on the path to reducing the statistics of suicide in Australia. Together, we can make a lasting, positive impact and give more.
