In recognition of the valuable service that Gateway Industries offers the local greater Dandenong area as a result of employment, training and support offered for people with disabilities, staff at AL-KO International raised money at their end of year function to help with fundraising efforts towards the purchase of safe vehicles to ferry Gateway’s work crews to sites in order to service their contracts and grow their business.
The money raised by staff was then matched by AL-KO as a business for a total amount of $920 which was presented to Gateway Industries at a presentation ceremony on Monday 7th December by AL-KO Managing Director Sven Mannfolk.
Gateway provides employment, training and support for adults in the City of Casey, Greater Dandenong and outer areas. The Centre caters to people between the ages of 16–65 years who have a disability.
The commitment at Gateway revolves around improving the self-esteem, respect, tolerance and values of all employees enabling recipients to fulfil a valuable role within the community. Both from home and at work, they value the quality of life approach and strive to achieve the best for all employees. Employees are paid wages which reduces their reliance on pensions and in turn helps reduce the government’s social welfare commitments. Services provided by Gateway include processing and packaging, woodwork, litter pick-up and Garden/ maintenance.
