Our work
in the community

We believe in two things: being the most trusted plumber Sydney has to offer, and helping our community, both in Sydney and abroad, whenever we can. For over 35 years, we've been an active member of the community, supporting good causes both locally and abroad. We help out by providing manpower and cash donations to aid good causes both locally and overseas.

We help a range of charities and organizations such as Barnardos, Amnesty International, Medecins Sans Frontieres, Lifeline, Wheelchairs For Kids, and UNHCR to name a few.

Our aim is to make a positive contribution to both the local and global community through our contributions of free plumbing and electrical work and monetary donations. Read on to learn about some of the great causes we support.

Cystic Fibrosis NSW

Cystic Fybrosis fund raiser walk around the Bay (3)

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) NSW is our state’s division of Cystic Fibrosis Australia.

CF affects a child born every four days. The life expectancy for a person with CF is so low, that most won’t live past 40. This is much lower than the median life expectancy of 80.3 years of men, and 84.4 years for women.

CF causes a range of related conditions – shortness of breath, regular bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia, crippling stomach pains, poor digestion and a variety of bacterial infections and lung problems.

Cystic Fibrosis NSW seeks to alleviate the effects of CF through building a base of support for research, for treatment of people living with CF, and for community and public awareness of how to better and best support people who have the condition. With the debilitating effects of CF so apparent, this work is life-saving, and works towards improvements in the quality of life of people with CF.

Cystic Fibrosis NSW holds numerous events throughout the year to raise awareness and funds for their work and the work of the Children’s Hospital at Westmead – including the 65k 4 65 Roses Walkathon, the Crazy Hair Day, and a number of other fundraising and awareness initiatives.

We’re proud to support Cystic Fibrosis NSW, and would love it if you’d check out their website here to see what they’re all about, and consider supporting this work.

Barnardo's Auburn Centre

Barnardos Auburn thank you afternoon tea for PETTR for Auburn Review newspape (6)

Plumber To The Rescue has been proudly supporting Barnardos for over 10 years by providing them with charitable free plumbing services.

Barnardos is one of Australia's leading child protection charities. They work hard to strengthen families, encourage participation in the community, and pursue social justice through their unmoving motivation to change the lives of young people across Australia.

For over 130 years, they have been putting disadvantaged and vulnerable children first, finding real and permanent solutions to ensure that children and young people have the chance to be loved and nurtured. They help children to build relationships with each other, their families and the community, encouraging them to voice their issues and be heard.

Plumber & Electrician To The Rescue was thanked this month by Barnardos Children’s Charity. For well over 10 years we have been providing free plumbing & electrical work to the Auburn Children’s Family Centre.

Tim, the owner operator of Plumber To The Rescue says "the staff at the Barnardos Auburn Centre are the most caring people around. The work they do helping children & their families who are suffering is heart warming. They deserve all the help we can give them and their clients".

If you want to help a good cause, this one is hard to beat.

Amnesty International

Amnesty International is a premier global movement of people campaigning to protect human rights. Started by UK-based lawyer Peter Benenson in 1961, Amnesty International have worked tirelessly on a number of fronts to protect the interests of disposed, marginalised people, and defend ordinary folk from human rights abuses. Benenson’s initial vision of a world in which no one is imprisoned, tortured or executed because of religious, political or other views has grown to a movement of over four and a half million members.

Working hard across the world to promote human rights and defend against abuse, there’s been countless trials and successes since the organisation’s birth in 1961. Over the last fifty odd years, Amnesty International have pushed governments and corporations around the world towards greater accountability for human rights abuses. Dignity, justice, freedom, equality and a fair go are at the centre of Amnesty International’s ethos, truly independent of any government, business, religious or political group.

As the world’s largest human rights organisation, Amnesty International is on the frontlines protecting everyday people in the twenty first century. With the heightened stress of refugee movements, the development of conflict zones around the world, Plumber To The Rescue is proud to support Amnesty International in their work defending human rights.

It’s easy to get involved supporting Amnesty International and making a real global difference.

Medecins Sans Frontieres

Officially established in 1971, Médecins Sans Frontières have helped over a hundred million patients around the world.

An international organisation not linked to any government or business, fiercely and proudly independent, Médecins Sans Frontières offers aid to patients based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender, or political affiliation.  Impartial and neutral, Médecins Sans Frontières doctors prioritise medical service in crises above the interests of disparate parties including governments, businesses and other groups.

Médecins Sans Frontières was founded on the belief that all people have the right to medical care, regardless of gender, race, religion, creed or political affiliation, and that the needs of these people outweigh respect for national boundaries. In the words of founder Bernard Kouchner, “it’s no coincidence we called it Médecins Sans Frontières.”

Médecins Sans Frontières is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation. It aims first and foremost to provide high quality medical care to the people who need it the most. In 2014, Médecins Sans Frontière carried out more than eight million outpatient consultations, delivered 194,400 babies, treated more than 2.1 million people for malaria, provided over 200,000 mental health consultations, registered 229,900 HIV patients under care, conducted more than 81,700 surgeries, treated 46,900 people for cholera, and vaccinated almost 1.5 million against measles and more than 75,100 against meningitis.

As you can see, the work of Médecins Sans Frontières is vital. Plumber To The Rescue is proud to support this organisation, and invites you to get involved too!
