Corporate Social Responsibility
We are keen supporters of our surrounding communities, ensuring that our team is constantly giving back. Our community outreach projects include the following:
St Anne’s Home
Thompsons Travel has done much for St Anne’s Home, which offers a sanctuary for abused women and children and provides relevant opportunities that consciously involve them in their society and cultivate a mature perspective on what it means to be a part of a community. Besides providing donations, excursions and transport, Thompsons Travel employees regularly volunteer at the facility’s crèche, meaningfully contributing to the organisation and the lives of its resident moms and children.
Other community initiatives
For Mandela Day, Thompsons Travel brightens up local schools through the Bookshelf Project, in which we paint bookshelves and desks. We join forces with Avis to support the PINK Initiative in aid of breast cancer, and, jumping in to raise money for CHOC, we take part in the annual Midmar Mile swim race.
SATSA Animal Interaction Charter
We singed the SATSA Animal Interaction Charter, which sets guidelines in the selection of ethical organisations that promote healthy and sustainable animal interaction activities. The charter is also a commitment to raising awareness about ethical animal encounters and encouraging transformation in this sector of our industry. Submit your Endorsement here.
