SIDS and Kids SA Grant Pubs with Heart have generously provided SIDS and Kids SA with the funds to be able to purchase new equipment for our office such as laptops, a photocopier/printer, portable projector and new iPhones for our grief counsellors. All of these upgrades will make a difference in our ability to operate and provide services to our clients. Our current photocopier/printer only has A4 capacity. Whereas our new photocopier/printer has A3 capability which will allow us to produce marketing materials in house rather than paying to have them printed externally.
Our counsellors were using phones which were seven years old and the new phones will allow easier management and integration of counsellors’ scheduled appointments and calendars as well as being more user friendly. New laptops help keep our equipment and technology up-to-date, and an extra portable projector for our second educator will be a huge help. These purchases would not have been possible without the generous funds provided by Pub with Heart, and we are truly grateful. Liza Jankowski – CEO SIDS and Kids South Australia
Winesmiths Raises $25,000 Winesmiths announced that $25,000 has been raised for the Australian Koala Foundation through the sale of specially marked Winesmiths Dry Rosé and Cabernet Sauvignon packs over the recent summer period. "With a focus on sustainability and in the spirit of our ‘Sacrifice Nothing’ ethos, we wanted to prompt consumers to think about their wine choice and their impact on the environment," said Winesmiths Senior Brand Manager Lisa Antoney.
packs instead of glass, we save approximately 1.8 million metric tonnes of emissions each year." "We recycle 100% of our wastewater for re-use on our vineyards, which equates to around eight Olympic pools of water saved each year." Chair of the Australian Koala Foundation Deborah Tabart OAM said this money would go towards their newly announced Koala Kiss Project.
"The Australian Koala Foundation really looks at changing the relationship people have with nature. Conservation efforts not only benefit Koalas, but our population as a whole," said Antoney.
"The project outlines an ultimate vision of the 'Great Koala Trail': approximately 2,543 kilometres of uninterrupted conservation and prime koala habitat from Cairns to Melbourne, connected at 'kiss points'."
"At Winesmiths, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment. By packing wine into two litre soft

cleared land," Tabart explains. "If we achieve contiguous habitat, then all creatures great and small could traverse through the bush unthreatened. “Humans could walk under this trail of gum trees with koalas happily in the branches overhead." Tabart says, "Funding for projects is always important, but having our message spread to wine lovers around Australia will enable more people to think about the conservation of the Koala and some of the bigger issues, like deforestation and water management.” Winesmiths will announce their next Sacrifice Nothing project later in 2022, with the objective to continue to bring awareness and much needed funding to important sustainability causes.
