The Grow Programme

The Grow Programme

The GROW Programme highlights the importance of everyday purchasing decisions and where profits end up. It is educational and encourages students and organisations to critically analyse opportunities that can make a real difference to our local communities, charities, schools and the environment. The GROW Programme is simple and easy to implement and is designed to channel the profits from essential items to GROW local community projects.

For example, plastic bags are being phased out. This means every household will need to purchase multiple re-usable bags with coffee cups soon to follow. The GROW Programme gives consumers a choice. On one hand, consumers can purchase multiple re-useable bags from a retailer or they can purchase from a participating GROW Programme school or charity where the profits will be returned to GROW local communities and charities. In addition, schools can link with the GROW Programme to support learning outcomes in Business and Entrepreneurial courses, IT, Maths, Communication and other courses.At pre-school and kindergarten level, GROW provides products to support health eating habits, craft activities and knowledge about Australian wildlife and Space. The GROW Programme is about your organisation growing by profiting from essential everyday items that you can customise to reflect your school or charity.
