LSH Credit Australia – Cooking for a Cause

Continuing with the “food for the ones in need” theme, our Melbourne and Sydney teams joined forces and participated in the “OzHarvest – Cooking for a Cause” CSR event on 14 December 2023.

OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation saving surplus food from ending up in landfill. Good quality surplus food is collected from a network of donors including supermarkets, cafes, delis, hotels, airlines and restaurants, then delivered direct and free of charge to charities nationally.

“Cooking for a cause” is also a unique team building activity. We were hosted by our chef, a master of zero-waste cooking, in an industrial kitchen. From learning how to chop an onion properly to cooking root to stem, we were inspired by this cooking session full of practical tips and tricks for us to apply at home. After creating over 150 delicious and nutritious meals, we packed the food ready for OzHarvest to deliver to local charities.

This was a very educational and rewarding experience for all of us.

Credit UK: A fruitful day with the local community

Tucked away in between a major motorway, a busy suburban village and 10 minutes’ walk away from the head office of LSH Credit’s business operations in the UK is an oasis of green landscape, Mersey Vale Nature Park. Within the nature park is The Sidings Community Orchard which is Greater Manchester’s largest orchard and home to a variety of fruit trees.

The staff in Credit UK volunteered and assisted the local community with the task of mulching and pruning the trees ready for the winter months. This will enable the trees to harvest more fruits for the community in the future.

With guidance from a local volunteer, armed with spades and forks, the team started digging out grass and weeds, before surrounding the tree base with mulch. We were given a lesson on how to prune the fruit trees to enable more light and air to branches, which will assist the tree in producing more fruits.

Whilst it was hard work, the day was great fun away from the office whilst being able contribute to the local community. We look forward to a return visit in the near future as part of our CSR activities.

LSH Credit Australia creating positive change by giving back to the community

“Many of us have a choice of what to eat, but think about those on the streets – they might not even have a chance to eat. And sadly, the number of people needing food assistance has been increasing, and what you contribute today could help to change someone’s life.” This was one of the key takeaways for the team at LSH Credit Australia (“LSHC AU”) from our latest CSR activity.

On 17 August 2023 in Sydney, all 12 of the LSHC AU staff took part in “OUR BIG KITCHEN”, a community-run industrial kitchen where meals are prepared for distribution to the disadvantaged across the city.

LSHC AU team shares OUR BIG KITCHEN’s belief in the power of communal giving back to society. It was proud to have prepared a total of 169 packages of meal in 2 hours. Whilst the goal was to prepare and distribute meals to those in need, the journey of how the meal was made was equally important. From preparing the ingredients, to cooking and packing the food together, the team enjoyed the opportunity to get together.

The speaker at the end of the day gave a powerful speech on the importance of love and empowerment. As we departed from OUR BIG KITCHEN, the team was left with an indelible sense of community, humility and fulfilment, with promises of more to come.
